A bored bee is a grumpy bee.

My sister and her baby are coming next week and I think I'm getting a cold.

Not feeling very well today. I declared a reading day for school today. Boys are very happy.

Had to split the boys up for math today. Two hours of Saxon investigation could have been torture, but wasn't half bad.

Amazing what a picky kid will eat when there just really isn't anything but "that" in the house.

Momma doesn't want to do school today.

The satisfaction of knowing your bees are all set for the first cold snap of fall is sweet.

Murphy's Law Part 23:If you put something in a safe place, you will never find it again.

What is it with Mondays?! GRRRR

Woke up in a rancid mood. Thought it might be a touch of burn-out, but I deduce from the headache that a virus is coming on.

My schedule is too predictable. The bees came and found me when I was an hour late with their syrup.

Nothing like a dearth of nectar and pollen to make bees appreciate their bee-keeper.

Watching the wild turkeys pick around the side yard. How does an ugly bird seem so graceful?

Habenero pepper spiked salsa. Lord, have mercy!

So sick of summer heat.

It's a 25 cent fine if I have to pick up your bug net in the yard. The proceeds will go to purchasing your next net. Mom has spoken.

Teacher Work Day. Seems a good use for Labor Day.

"I strongly recommend that you stay away from the bees this morning."

Monday, Monday...There isn't enough chocolate in the cabinet.

I hate mosquitoes. That is all.

Poking mama in the evening is just like poking a hornet's nest. Don't do it!

I am going to have an afternoon to myself. Going to fold laundry, make some tea and clean up my desk.

It hit 100 today and it's so humid you need gills to breathe. Fine time for the air conditioner to quit on me.

Wondering how Mrs. Piggle Wiggle would cure three cases of severe summer procrastinosis and dawdles.

Nature study this morning-watching a cicada molt to the adult form.
