Okay, So I Was Wrong

Yep, I was wrong!  The rain has arrived and cold weather is on it’s way.  Good thing I didn’t buy any plants.  We are supposed to have a frost and/or freeze a couple of nights next week. 
 
Kevin picked up his bees last night and transferred him to the bottom of the hive.  Apparently, this is a several step process.  Below is a picture of the first step.  If you look closely you can actually see a couple of bees.

 
I tried to take a picture of the orchard.  Since the trees aren’t very big and just starting to bloom and/or get leaves it is kind of hard to see them.




I also took a picture of the garden.  The early crops are starting to come in.  There is still a lot of planting to do.



This morning I went to Walmart and picked up a prescription.  It was supposed to be ready yesterday, but when I arrived this morning it still had not been filled.  So, I shopped.   By the time I was finished my prescription was ready.  I then drove to Barnes and Nobles and picked up a couple of books.  Now it’s time for a break and some basketball.


After lunch I ordered three trees for my front yard.  They are all trees that flower.  I was thinking of the bees.  They also will not get very big.  I was thinking of the electric wires going across my yard.  I ordered a Golden Rain Tree, a Forest Pansy Redbud and a Chaste Tree.  Never heard of a Chaste Tree but it looked pretty.
 

I have also signed up for three more genealogy classes.  One is HOW TO TRACE YOUR GERMAN ANCESTRY ONLINE.  I thought this important since most of our ancestors are German.  The other one is CENSUS PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS FOR GENEALOGY.  I found a couple more classes listed that I might be interested in.  I really enjoy taking these classes.

Sunday the gardeners came to work on the garden.  The radishes were harvested.  Kevin also tilled another section for more plantings.   



This week’s Sunday family dinner was a special one.  Gary, Stephanie’s boyfriend, is being deployed this week.  Please keep him in your prayers.  We have not been told where he is going.  This is perfectly normal.
