Well. \u00a0Those bees I saw earlier. \u00a0That got me excited about a successful overwintering. \u00a0They were scavengers. \u00a0Robbing the honey left over. \u00a0So, now I will have two hives, as I imagined I would. \u00a0Moving them them to the orchard. The bees will be closer to the house.<\/p>\n
Also, a rite of spring today. \u00a0I walked the fence line, about 2000 feet, looking for trees fallen on the fence (2, but not bad), holes dug under the fence (none) and anything else that compromises our dog security barrier. \u00a0Nothing that can’t be fixed with a chain saw.<\/p>\n
A cedar split a live, large branch. \u00a0It hangs now, a fresh wound in the tree about 8 feet up. \u00a0I can’t figure it. \u00a0Healthy. \u00a0Not really in the path of the winds. \u00a0Yet there it is, a finish to half the tree.<\/p>\n
Bright green grass, translucent in the near noon sun. \u00a0Tiny shoots also bright green carry leaves still bound toward their date with the light. \u00a0All round the forest has begun to wake up.<\/p>\n
One of our apple trees will blossom this week, two cherries seem ready to burst into bloom, too. \u00a0All over our property the land has shaken off the winter, mild though it was, and changed out its somber browns for productive green.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
