No, I'm not referring to sex education. I once wrote about the lack of honeybees, but I'm here to tell you they're back in force. I have a Linden tree, commonly called a basswood, and the blossoms are very fragrant. Otherwise, it's a soft, messy tree with pea size "berries". Well, the bees love it, and they were noisily buzzing throughout while I picked red raspberries nearby. Perhaps there's hope.
I was also hoping I'd get bluebirds this year, and after cleaning out the bird box on a daily basis (sparrows), I have a nesting pair! In fact, I've seen 3, maybe 4, bluebirds coming and going. Polygamy? I'm keeping my fingers crossed for babies.

I'm exhausted in a good way right now, after walking 18 holes of golf, then cutting a truck load of firewood. I also did a few chores--watered outdoor plants, weeded, picked peas, lettuce and asparagus. Gotta go--company
