Not really a conflict. It's more of a consequence. Before we could mow, we needed to pull stinging nettles. They have these really pretty white flowers, but the little buggers are nasty and tenacious. If you rub against one, it pokes you with these nasty thorns that stay in your skin. The thorns are small and hairlike. They are extremely hard to see and very painful. We needed to pull them or mowing them would have spread them even further through the yard. It took us quite awhile, then we mowed, then we worked on the back patio, then the compost pile.
The results were lots of things marked off our list and lots of sun. The top picture is me. That's my back in all it's sunburned glory. It hurt for a couple of days, but not as bad as I thought it was going to. I could wear a bra and that's saying alot. The bottom picture is hubby's back. I put my hand on his back. It turned out to be a great picture. My best advice for a sunburn would be heat. Take a really hot shower or get in a hot tub. It will sting like the dickens, but it is so much better when you get out. It helps take away the sting.
