In this year of the 'clover mayhem'...I mow, but I just can't bring myself to mow all of the crazy clover. It seems there must be 100 times more clover than usual. Used to be, we would just be really glad about that. These days, the first thought is 'hmmm...things are different this year...hmmm' And along with bird songs you never heard before, and I didn't see the robins, although surely they were here; it's hard to know whether to be happy or worried. So I choose happy. I mean, why not? We can all worry ourselves into oblivion, or we can enjoy what is presented to us. No bees? hey, get some bees! That's what WE did.P.S. Bee Update: The hives Will moved to the blueberry farm are back home: I don't think he'll be doing that again. The bees were unhappy about being moved around. When they first got home, they would fly around and try to enter the wrong hive, and everybody would be mad! But they have settled down and I think they've figured it out. In the menatime, Will got his 'russian' hive. Because one cannot mix them with the Italians, the new hive is out at the blueberry farm.
You didn't see any robins because they were all over HERE! We had the largest flock of robins I've ever seen, had to be at least a hundred, roosting in the Pecans and Live Oaks and pecking through the hay fields. The dog and cats went nuts, but it never seemed to scare them off.
