Warning! Wear protective glasses

This was supposed to be my morning to catch up on the weeding in the vegetable garden.  I decided to use the weed eater around the compost pile first.  Bad move.  Double bad since I didn't take the time to run up to the house for eye gear.  The eye doctor said that weed eater injuries top his list of patient accidents, so I am not alone. 

My eye is fine, but will take awhile for the bruise to go away.  Just my luck! Saturday is my brother's wedding.  I will be the one wearing the sunglasses for all the pictures..
