In The Heat of The Summer

My bees look like this:

It’s called bearding.

It’s just so hot in the hive, that they come out to cool themselves down.

This box has a hive that used to be in my friend’s neighbor’s apple tree down the street.

There’s not a ton of them, but they’re doing their thing.

And this is a dorky picture of me so you can see how tall this sunflower is.

I opted to omit the even dorkier pictures of me with my tree size tomato plant and my seven foot tall raspberry bush.

You’re welcome.

I spray painted and hung this bird cage.

With the intention of making it into a light.

FOUR YEARS AGO!

So this is it finally accomplished.

{go me}

I used an Edison style light bulb.

And, if you come visit, I’ll let you sleep here:

Complete with rickety pallet day bed, windows that don’t close all the way and Spencer’s trains strewn about at the other end of the room.

Just take a number….=)

Anyway, hope you all are doing well.

  3. Me, me! I'll sleep on the rickety pallet day bed with non closing windows and trains any day! That sunflower is amazing! And so are your bees and the rest of the garden
