Tea Parties with the Bees

And now for a whirlwind update.
I never did do much with the blog mentioned below. However, I have done something with this one:

High Tea Adventure Club

That has been loads of fun. If you go there you will also notice that we got a dog! Her name is Kirke, we got her in February after months of searching in animal shelters. It is quite a process to adopt a dog. So I'd like to thank the Berryville Animal Shelter for being so wonderful.

I'm also looking for a new job. I've been looking for about 6 months now. Yeah.

HIRE ME!!

Lately my big project has been my patio vegetable garden. So far so good. Much more expensive than I anticipated...but that's what happens when you have to pay for dirt. I think in the end it will be worth it, as long as we don't starve waiting for the vegetables to grow. I've run into a dilemma with my garden: how will the vegetables grow if they don't get pollinated? We take this sort of thing for granted (although we should stop in light of Colony Collapse Disorder), but on the third floor, it could present a major problem for me. Right now I have a small colony of honey bees in some leftover firewood. They could serve the purpose, but I don't feel comfortable having them live on my patio as the hive grows. They'll be moved to an open field soon leaving me with my problem: who is going to pollinate my garden? Me, I guess. I'll have to do some research on what they do with the vanilla in Madagascar.

No guarantees on a post again soon, but keep checking out the High Tea Adventure Club.
