Summertime
I’m sitting in the dining room, watching bees zoom back and forth doing their thing. It’s very relaxing. The weather has been doing a strange thing for the past week. We’d had a hot spell, where it was clear and … Continue reading
Bees – Blackberry dearth, knotweed begins
I hadn’t been really putting much information on the blog this year about the bees. I don’t know why; I guess I’m just out of the habit. I’ve noticed that I am getting a lot more information form my inspections … Continue reading
2013 Bees
I’ve been remiss in bee updates this year, so here’s the quick catch-up: All three of our hives died during the winter. It looked like they just swarmed out last summer; there was plenty of food still in the hives, … Continue reading
Band of brothers
I’ve always liked the song “Hot for Teacher” by Van Halen. Oh, it’s got racy lyrics and a saucy theme, sure. But recently, I started noticing something else about it. The opening is the band’s drummer (Alex Van Halen) wailing … Continue reading

Weathermen lie.
Well, the “week of nice weather” did not materialize. It’s Wednesday, and the clouds rolled in. Halibut season starts tomorrow, and there are small craft advisories and 11′ seas. hmph.
Gorgeous night
It was absolutely gorgeous out tonight. I could see maybe one or two clouds down by the horizon, and otherwise, it was clear, cool, and dark, dark. Leo was high in the west, starting to set, with Mars riding near … Continue reading
A week of nice weather
The weather report claims that there’s no rain in the 10-day forecast right now. That’s the first stretch of sunny weather we’ve had since midwinter. We’ll see if it turns out to be as nice as predicted, but it’s entirely … Continue reading
