We have bee hives out here on the farm. The first year I barely noticed what was going on until I passed by one day and there were two guys in suits pulling trays from the hives. They are good for the crops, so to speak. I have followed that forward in tiny little steps over a few years and I now know how it's done. I showed up for a photo op in Finley and got to see those trays out for the honey to be extracted from the combs. There was a beautiful dog named Jenny who snapped a bee or two in midair and a to die for motorcycle which got moved out of my line of vision. Practicing the photo guidelines for submission, I focused on one pic to print. And a helluva' long story to go with it. It's just one tiny piece of the history of this place. Grounded on agriculture, we do corn beans and wheat. I suppose those bees do their part somewhere in the ecosystem that is Calcutt Farms.
I'm reading Rick's Speckled Beauty and it has helped me to understand where he was when I reached out to him as a mentor and coach. I've had dogs like that. Currently I have Oscar boi and he's mine 'til death do us part. He's muddy and nasty most of the time but I don't care. Al is not allowed in the house but sometimes he sneaks in. I ain't having all that spraying going on up in here. I reckon I could scramble up 200 bucks to have him fixed but that would spoil his fun.
I've been busy as a cat chasing his tail but that's a good thing I reckon, except for the price of gas. I got some new beauty products from Yaya and still haven't done the whole routine. All of it is skin care which I sorely need. I've added zinc to the daily regimen and Head and Shoulders for the stoma.
Happy hump day kiddos ^j^
