Two more assistant beekeepers!!!



Susie and Sam in the bee veils :)

Cheering me up...


Lloyd stopped off to get milk on his way home from work and also brought me home these beautiful roses to cheer me up on this miserable snowy day in April! I'm so glad I picked today to make him his favourite dinner :)

Thank you baby - they're gorgeous!!! A deep, dark, velverty red!And perfect for playing about with my macro lens :)

i think tomorrow I'm going to flick water at them and take pictures of them like that ;)

At home due to the weather, snowed in, in April lol.......it's driving me KWAZY!!!!!!!
The roses defintely cheered me up :)

Off to make my gorgeous hubby a cup of tea :)

(this picture didn't come out well because my flash batteries need charging - and I can't be bothered to wait so I edited it BADLY lol....but thats why its so crappy)

A rose by any other name.....


would smell as sweet...

Chris's latest plan......

Chris has a plan. He says he's been doing research on the net. He says if you stay in bed for three days undisturbed, you can grow up to four inches in height. You can't get up though and have to have your meals brought to you.

He'd like to try this over the next long weekend.

He does say that the effects don't last long though because of the effects of gravity.

He was trying hard not to laugh while telling me this.

I was trying hard not to laugh while listening.

I suggested he ask his Father about this at dinner tonight,

If his Dad agrees then he can try it over Victoria Day Weekend (not very likely lol)

The things teenagers will try to get to stay in bed all weekend!!!! OMG!!!

Not a normal Monday

We got the phone call at 10pm last night to say school buses were canceled. So today is an official snow day. The children are home. We also got a phone call to say Abigails drama class is canceled for the day. The roads are very bad - lots of cars in the ditch. Lloyd took my truck to work as it's much safer in these conditions.

It is after 2pm and I am not dressed. So lazy but I emailed Val and she too is not dressed so I am not the only lazy slob on a day like this :) That makes me feel better :) Val is a lazy slob too :)

Our pumpkins are flowering like crazy so I posted on LP about hand pllination and Andrea posted a fab link about how to pollinate them - it seems I can wait a week or two until the female flowers (still in bud) flower and then I can pollinate them myself by hand quite easily - or they may not flower until the bees arrive which would be ideal!!

I spent all morning sat in bed studying my bee text books. Then I crawled out of bed and made toast and then have since spent the time at the computer studying bee forums and LP. Sam and Abigail are not interested in me at all when their much more interesting older siblings are at home - so there is nothing for me to do - I did all the laundry at the weekend - we vacuumed and dusted yesterday and I cleaned the bathrooms yesterday too - the kitchen was done by the children this morning (woohoo they are home and its their chore if they are home woohoo) so I am being ultra lazy. I will get showered and dressed in a bit and then make a cottage pie for dinner.

This weather has put me back in lazy sleepy winter mode - I want to hibernate like a bear again!
