Kitchen Update

Wanted to put the before and after pix of our kitchen. As always, it's not 100% but there's a lot that is finished. I have come to love the orange in the kitchen. It's definitely my color.

Kitchen Before:

Kitchen After:

I'm in the market for a chandelier for the eating area and I need to figure out how to fix what's hanging on my walls there too. I relocated some key pieces and it's just not the same.

Nature, Taking Care of Business

I love my bees. They are so awesome and they do not need me. Not to feed them, not to clean up their poop, not to be their friend.

It was in the 60's today and they were flying so I figured it was my chance to whip up a sugar solution and see if I could help them not starve before spring. I got out there, put the sugar syrup in the feeder, and then stepped back to observe. Those little girls were bringing in pollen! On Feb 1!! I had heard a rumor that redbuds were blooming and that this might be a good year for honey but I didn't think my girls had it in them to go find it.

In this video, look for the bees flying around with giant yellow balls on their back legs. You can see it a couple of times. One girl flies in with some and then another one crawls out of the hive and back in.
