Updates:
Karen called to say our stone was being delivered to her studio yesterday. I’ll get over there very soon.
Did I tell you that my friend Alex (with dementia) was moved to his hometown of Washington, PA to be nearer his brother and his brother’s family? Yes, Alex is no longer brightening our town or punctuating [...]

Those bees out there aren’t doing squat. Everyone who knows anything about this stuff warned me not to expect honey from any new colony in its first year, but I didn’t believe them. Now, I do.
Apparently there is both a spring and a fall “honey flow,” and our bees made a load of honey [...]

To Do:
Write the old boyfriend (he’s now written two veeeerrrrryyyy looooonnnnnggg emails, and when I didn’t answer the last one, he re-sent it with a note “did you get this?”). I cannot think of a thing to say to him.
Hook up with the bee people at Greenacres (they’re harvesting their spring honey this week, and [...]

So, I sent an S.O.S. call to Chris last night, and if the weather’s good later today, he’s coming over to check out our bees. He sort of insinuated that we may not get ANY honey from either hive this season…you know because I’ve told you— it takes a season for the bees to build [...]

Something’s going on with the bees, and I can’t quite figure out if it’s normal behavior or not. And Chris, my bee buddy, has been out of town a lot lately, so I’m on my own. Well, I read a lot, so I have the world at my disposal, but sometimes you just want to [...]

I love that Chris Stephens is a “now” kinda guy. I came home from work yesterday to find he’d place a hunk of beeswax in the wet hiking boots I’d left on the front porch. I called him; he said, “Let’s go get your bee stuff.” I picked him up and we drove down to [...]

I was a little early for coffee with a friend, so I ran across the street for something at the Natural Food Store (no, I didn’t get any natural food). As I was crossing, a car honked…to make a longer story short (for Suzanne!), our friend Chris Stephens followed me into the parking lot. He’s [...]

The next thing will be a bee hive in my yard and honey from my hive in my pantry. I LOVE honey…love all the flavors and stages and colors and every single thing about it. I eat it every day and can think of nothing cooler than to have my own hive and collect my [...]
