Busy Bees

This weeks theme is I Spy

IMG_1759

I spy with my camera eye at least two busy bees collecting pollen from the New York Asters. Heck, there might even be a third one in the last full flower in the right hand corner. There’s a blur there that certainly looks like a happy bumble bee. You can click on the photo to see a larger image on my Flickr page.

I won’t be seeing my lovely New York Aster blooms again until autumn, but I sure hope that I’ll start to see some spring flowers soon. It’s finally warming up a bit here and the snows beginning to melt. The temperatures have been above freezing for the last two days and are expected to be above freezing (sometimes with rain) over the next four or so days, so with luck there’s a good chance that much of the snow that ruined my back last weekend will soon disappear.

Wish us snow bound northerners luck?

Rainy day

by Tricia

We’re getting some much needed rain here today.

It’s not too cool either. In fact, it’s 6:30 pm and I do believe it’s begun to warm up. Perhaps we’re heading into another warm spell.

We still haven’t managed to put our air-conditioners in our windows and Chris has to work tomorrow. I just told him that we’d better get them in on Tuesday, his day off, because the rest of the week is going to be very warm and whenever it’s warm here it gets humid.

I can take the heat but heat and humidity combined can be a real problem.

It’s warming up

by Tricia

Hey it’s warming up here. I think we might have a good week ahead of us. If we’re lucky we might even get away from the terribly harsh cold that has plagued us most of this month.

It’s almost warm enough for us to go outside and BBQ. Yeah, I’m sure that most of you still wouldn’t barbecue in this cold, but we get cravings for a tasty BBQ sometimes and just can’t help ourselves. I make a mean grilled veggie barbecue and if you enjoy grilled vegetables you can click that link and get my recipe. It’s delicious.

Oh my. I’m making myself hungry just thinking about it. Yum!
