Day 28: A scar you have and its story

People most frequently ask about a little hole in my leg.  It's a small dip in the skin.  It looks like a hole from far away, but it doesn't go very deep.  It's from a spider bite.  We often like to assume that it's from a brown recluse because a big hole at the time formed in my leg, although it wasn't as bad as some of the horror stories I've heard with brown recluses.

Anyways, I was about ten at the time I got this scar.  It was very painful when I first had the bite and the real hole.  I could hardly put weight on my leg for a few days.  It hurt.  Ever since I got this scar, I've been terrified of spiders.

But I don't mind the funny story I now can tell because of the scar

Day 27: A physical feature you love

I have to say that I love eyes.  Eyes are beautiful.  I love my own eyes and I love the eyes of other people. 

Bright blue eyes fascinate me, but so do eyes that are a shade of gold... a true hazel. 

I call my eyes hazel, but they're really a kind of rainbow.
