Gratitude lately

Lately I’ve been grateful . . .

. . for small hands holding old cameras.

And for the old-fashioned fun of waiting for “instant” film to develop.

For $6 goodwill dresses, and a sewing machine to re-fashion them.

For new backsplashes.

And for hot summer hikes.

Hope you’re enjoying summer, friends! I’ve been really enjoying our film cameras lately, how have you been capturing your summer memories?

Lately I’ve been grateful for birthday girls.

And I’ve been grateful for the Dad of this crew & his trademark mustache. He makes Father’s Day worth celebrating.

{Spring is Coming: Bee Install Day}

March 2017, we install my Dad’s first bee colony into his new Top Bar hive.

Note that the queen-box strap had become detached during transport, resulting in the need to scoop the queen-box out of the package by hand.

Blessings on your beekeeping, may the rewards be sweet.
