Virgil said that the bees "partake of an Essence Divine and drink Heaven's well-springs."

It's been a very busy April so far.  And we are left with muses!  

A Day in the Life of a Beekeeper.

M's gone pro.  After weeks of prep work, the bees all arrived and it was time to get them into their homes.  I took a day off work to lend a hand (not to mention a back, legs, feet, truck, etc...) and took plenty of photos.  

garden, garden

Last weekend, the winter garden was pulled up and the spring garden was planted. 

where has the time gone?

so much happening, and so little time to update!  First - what is this? 

I found this in the garden as I was weeding.  I gave it a slight squeeze to see if it was hollow, and it moved!  The pointed end wiggled just a bit.  I set it down under the rose plants where it wouldn't be disturbed.  Would love to know what it is!
