Don't go outside and start working in your yard and think you will check the butter beans before they burn - nope, didn't happen - well, it did happen - they were smoking and not in a good way when I remembered to check on them! But nothing caught on fire and I have potatoes, baked chicken and I'm going to make hush puppies so all is well. Late afternoon the sun finally came out but it was a good day to work in the yard. Spring in finally here with a little pollen too.
Mr. Ellis and I are picking up four bee packages on Friday. Two for him and two for me. I will set mine up at the house rather than the farm. I'll be feeding them for awhile and I can't drive to the farm every day. When I move (and who knows the answer to that), Mr. Ellis and I will move the bees to the farm. We are both rather anxious about getting bees again and have decided if these don't make it, we'll both stop keeping bees.
