Tomorrow afternoon is the day the bee’s come to their new home.\u00a0 They will have traveled by truck from Chico, California, spent a night at Jim’s Nature’s Nectar and will leave Stillwater for Andover around 2:00 pm.\u00a0 Back home here at Artemis Honey they will go into their colonies, one per package, a tuft of grass tucked in the entrance reducer for the first 12 hours to keep everybody home the first night.\u00a0 Sounds like 3 folks will come for the festivities.<\/p>\n
Today is the first Latin day in three weeks.\u00a0 I’ve had an unusually full period that eliminated the full day slots I like to use for translating Ovid. I find I have to get into a flow with it which takes some time.<\/p>\n
In addition to bee hiving I have vegetables to plant this week, too.\u00a0 Succession planting plus new veggies, cool weather veggies like peas and carrots.\u00a0 My potatoes came two days ago.\u00a0 They’re on a cookie pan while the eyes grow a bit more before I cut them up and plant them, probably late next week.<\/p>\n
Mark will have been here two weeks tomorrow.\u00a0 He takes long walks here in Andover, goes into the city with me when I won’t be long and takes walks in the city.\u00a0 Still calming down after a tough period.<\/p>\n
On to Diana and Actaeon.\u00a0 I’m getting there with this story.\u00a0 When I finish my first pass on the translation, mostly literal (which is not easy for me), then I’ll take on the next, equally difficult challenge, putting my translation into idiomatic English.\u00a0 Prose, most likely.\u00a0 Translating it as poetry feels like a different, more complex process, one I’m not ready to take on right now.<\/p>\n
Also, Grandson Gabe’s 3rd birthday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
