 Coming in for a landing:



Pollen-laden




The bees have been loving this Arugula that over-winterd in a cold frame and burst into bloom some weeks ago.  In the background is L'Atelier, the art studio, and where Mathieu makes guitars, overseen by two of my hives:  Stella and Ariadne.  To the right is a Fig in a pot that gets brought in over winter, and a Grape on trellis.  THIS has my Heart.  <3




The Mason bees have been very active; I love watching them, so docile and yet judicious.



At work:  Mathieu and I with the fragrant native Woodland Phlox at a landscape client's.



And Luck of Luck!  Found some tasty dinner when I wasn't even purposefully hunting!  My friend Abby and I were just taking a jaunt in the woods...and lo and behold.



Then we lay in the grass in the sun for a different type of nourishment.


 Make a wish!
