In my blog I plan to chat about nature, crafts, baking, gardening, beekeeping, family, and whatever else seems appropriate at the time. Sit back, relax, and enjoy!

Color

 Yes Brenda, Ladybug Dreams, I got all of the gourds hung up!
 I've been trying to think of ways to put color into the bee yard.
And add color to my life, especially in the winter months.
 When the leaves are off of all the trees, we'll have colorful gourds to fill in the blanks!

 And the birds will have a place to live.  Wrens seem to love these houses.
 Thing is....for the last two days, when I go to the bee yard, something has taken a gourd out of the tree every night/day.  I know, because they leave it on the ground under the tree. And we've had no wind.  I'm thinking it's a raccoon.
 And blogettes, I've about HAD IT WITH RACCOONS!  You know when it's in red caps, I'm serious.
 When they aren't invading our house, they are invading the bee yard.  Time for action.
OK...Back to color...I like it.  I especially like it in the winter when everything around here is brown and boring.  I am going to add a bottle tree and paint the beehives different colors too.  After I get Coral Belle moved out there.  I'm hoping to start working on her this weekend!
