Dear Heather,
Although I do not blame you, I wish now, in hind sight, that you had stayed a little longer to keep me from stupidly picking up the kama. After you left I almost cut off my finger - just like I joked about earlier in the day.
I cut clear through my fingernail and maybe even hit bone.
It really hurts.
BUT... I amost finished that field! :D

Man, that looks like a bad cut . Otukare on the harvest.
Back in April of this year I did something similar when I was chopping out some black locust roots with my hatchet: I slipped and cut a chunk out of my left index finger, which dripped blood for the next hour over everything I was doing. At times like these I realize that I'm a mediocre homesteader, that I have poor instincts and make a huge number of bad decisions, but later I relax and smell the air and listen to the birds, and think about ways to be more careful in the future.
All the best with yer finger,
ken

Hay Carumba, that looks just gross...SURE hope you got some antibiotics and keep that wound clean..be on alert for infection bc if you did hit the bone this can be dangerous..I had a deep puncture to my finger once and didnt take precautions and later had severe infection. Hope you are okay
