So much for spring!

Filed under: Uncategorized

The honeybee I posted below was from last Saturday.  A few days after that the weather was nice, sunny and 82.  Today resembled my March 7th posting with snow.  High temp of 32.  Grey clouds and whipping winds.  ‘Nothing like seeing snow covered daffodils and magnolias to suck the life out of most of us today.  Needless to say, most of us at work–including myself–matched the intensity of the  exterior gloom and were ready to crawl into a hole and do some heavy drinking. 

There was a pile of cats huddling on my next-door neighbor’s porch this morning.  Snow coming down, wind blowing, dark, cold, overcast.  Their expressions seemed to say it all: "WTF??"   Kitties…, get used to it since they’re calling for more of this stuff for the next few days.

(Okay.  Yes, I need to put on some of that aforementioned Taize music.  Also, sorry.  I still need to get more info of Chocolate Lovers’ Day to some of you.   Perhaps I’ll email something out this weekend of the ancillary events.)

New bee!

new beeHey, I found this girl on a flower downtown.  I wish I had gotten another picture of this bee since it’s kinda neat to see a new foraging honeybee.  She most likely put in her tour of duty cleaning the hive and serving the queen a few days before venturing to this flower.  I hope to put more photos on my Flickr site.
