Truly, ya gotta keep out of the sun. My biggest problem is reflective sun getting my face. When I go out I'm in a long sleeve "fishing" SPF 50 shirt. I try to not go out if I dont have to. I've had enough with Melanoma (Stage 4). I'm "free" right now, planning and hoping the little buggers dont implant somewhere!

Oh that's so me! I love mowing, doing yardwork and gardening. Anything to be outside. I wear lots of sunscreen and make sure to take a lot of breaks. And if I just can't do it, I have the most wonderful neighbors that will help me out
