60+ year old thread.

I’ve seen a few here but that’s it. Weather has sucked.

 

Good morning. The sun is out today!

 

Cold and wet does put a damper on a lot of things.

 

We are having quite a few bees so far. The catmint is blooming and they seem to love it. So far I have seen a hummingbird 3-4 days. An American Goldfinch showed up yesterday on the feeders. Early for them. Usually not here until the sunflowers are blooming late summer.
There were 6 squirrels yesterday fighting over the corn.
My little acre is pie shaped. Small in the front and close to 70 yards across the back. I let the back 1/3 grow wild with native grasses (water here is our most expensive utility). I only mow a trail around it until everything has seeded out in the fall, then mow it all. Foxes show up when it gets high and chase the rabbits.

It’s going to be a beautiful mid 70s day with mostly sun. I’ll need to water my veges good since I’m heading out to fish and camp a couple of days. My better half and grandbabe tell me I’m getting grouchy and need some alone time…LOL!
Have a glorious day and get you some sun!

 

Morning all:

OK, interesting, and good luck at establishing a new hive.
On my way to my friend's funeral, I saw a beekeeper tending hives with a full suit on, we have a few people in the area who have hives.
We had quite a few small apple orchards in the area when I was young, and a huge cherry orchard, lots of honeybees, almost all of those orchards are now gone along with an enormous orchard just South of here, don't know if things like that are a contributing factor to the declining honeybee population, probably doesn't help any.
If you need any carpenter bees I can send you some, I have lots of them!

 

Enjoy! I agree...sometimes we all need to connect with creation and have alone time. Sunshine and those oxygen producing trees are a great way to refresh and reset. Catch'em up!

 

We have a lot of sea grapes around our place in St. Pete and they are loaded with bees.

 

Good Morning

The other day I mentioned that I haven't heard any Cicada's in my area , They're now here and they're louder than ever LOL !!

 

LOL...I have a slight bit of tinnitus...so...yeah that's every day for me. CICADATHON!

 

Good Morning Porch Pals & Sue! Lounging with some coffee still, and if it's not going to rain this morning I will go mow already. Supposed to have storms at some point.
Good luck with those bees @Sturgfish ! We need more bees! We've never had a lot here, but we do have some "wild bees" that like to use the goldfish pond tank for refreshment.
And, @ImpulseRed008 , Carol loves her new "100" which is really firm. My "85" on the new bed is MUCH more firm than the old, so I dialed it down last night, and - nope. Back up and I'll find the new number.
And it was a fairly successful hangar day with the old motor. SIX parts came off! That's more than in a long time. Getting the intakes out of the way meant I could finally get to the fasteners for the cylinder shrouds - sort of. And, I think the designers were paid by the fastener, because there even more hiding! But look, you can actually see a whole cylinder head!






Have a great day everybody!

 

Those Eucalyptus trees look familiar!

 

I can send you some of mine, too

afternoon all

 

Yeah all over your area too.

 

Good morning. Back to the cardiologist to have my heart measured by a stress test. No caffeine and drink plenty of fluids leading up to my appointment at 12:30. I see a Dunkin stop on my way home from the doctor. One more appointment after today.

 

Good morning and happy Friday!

 

Good morning! At the farm today looking forward to getting some work done inside and out. Weather looks iffy at best. Have a great day all.

 

Gone fishing! Temps will be 67 high and 32 low. I hope I can stay warm camping out!
Have a great weekend everyone!

 

last nite's endeavor....
