Normally, I try not to bleed from the face.
So, there I was, heading down on the land to check on the sheep. It was dark, and it was raining. Suddenly, I saw an Opossum near the garden site and was overcome with a desire to get him away from the area...
YEAH, DUMB IDEA
Running through the woods with low visibility is not a good idea. Especially in areas where there is a lot of green briers. Soon, my poor face was pulled across a green brier vine.
This stuff is basically the barbed wire of the woods. It'll grab hold of you and tear your flesh open if you run into it. We hope to eventually phase it out and remove it from the homestead, but so far it is still growing all over the place. On the bright side, I did get rid of that Opossum, but lost more blood than I would have preferred to in the process.

As always, I'm
