If you see me tomorrow, and I’m walking a bit slow… it’s because I rototilled on my garden for a bit… then I rode my bike clear to the mailbox at the other place (roundtrip of six miles)… then I came home and mowed my lawn with my little mower. It’s like pushing a mower…
Bee Check
Bee check. The new bees have been in the Golden Hive and Beebylon for almost a week now. They look pretty happy to me… and Mess-opotamia is looking busy as well. Thanks to Sheri, who reminded me of the name of my own hive… There’s a bazillion dandelions now, so they SHOULD Bee Happy! They…

Strutting Their Stuff
