A second cold wet day reminds me of the time I just spent on Hilton Head Island.\u00a0 Why travel if I can experience a southern coastal climate right here in Minnesota?<\/p>\n
The cold weather and drizzle today made working outside unattractive, not impossible, but I didn’t get out there.<\/p>\n
Mark Nordeen intended to come over to check on the hive this morning, see if we need to put a third hive box on the two we have now.\u00a0 He called and said bees don’t leave the hive when it’s cool and wet; they resent intrusion then so the better idea is to wait until the weather warms.\u00a0 We settled on early Thursday.<\/p>\n
This afternoon Melina, Taylor and Chaska Helgeson had a big graduation party with asian themed food and rapping by Nerve, aka Taylor Helgeson.\u00a0 There were a number of people there, though few I knew.\u00a0 Sarah and Paul Strickland were the only guests I recognized except for Stefan’s dad.<\/p>\n
The noise and the mix of people made hearing difficult so I eased away after about an hour.<\/p>\n
We spoke with Jon and Jen on Skype tonight.\u00a0 Ruthie got an owie at a birthday party.\u00a0 Gabe had an elbow bleed and required three doses of factor.\u00a0 He has small veins so it took a lot of needle sticks.\u00a0 It sound painful and frustrating.\u00a0 Herschel, who has hemangiosarcoma, is home from the hospital and feeling pretty good.\u00a0 He has three months as a prognosis.\u00a0 Sad.<\/p>\n
That’s about it.\u00a0 A quiet Sunday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
