    It's nice today but we had two nights where I had to cover all the plants in the garden with old sheets.

    Out of all the plants, I'm most impressed with the sunflowers this year - nice big yellow heads and lots of bees buzzing about.

    I saved a bee recently. It had fallen into a bucket and was floating in there. It was dusk so I couldn't see if it was swimming.

    Took it in the house and once it warmed up it started moving again. So I put him/her into a small bracelet box from the jewellers with holes punched in it. I ripped up some paper towel for bedding.

    Did you know you can give bees sugar water to revive them? I tried that and it helped.

    The next morning I took some unpasteurized honey and diluted it with water. Put it beside the bee on a spoon and he sucked it up. Then when I took him outside I dropped the box! He fell on the deck so then I picked him up with a bit of ripped paper towel and put him on a plant.

    Happy to report he was buzzing about in no time, joining his friends to pollinate flowers

    You've seen those paintings where someone buys some random scene at The Goodwill and then they add in monsters or robots or whatever.  I love those.  I should do that, that would be fun.

    Still overast with periodic feeder bands from Sally. Light rain, not much wind. Thoughts go out to all in Sally path.  Positives, mornings have been in the 70'sF. Nice.

    We have warmed right back up after our freak snow last week. Yesterday was 91 again and today is supposed to be 89.

    I'm really sorry...😢 I had contacted her privately on FB and she got back to me, I asked her if it was okay to let people know here that she was okay, she didn't reply to that one and I forgot to tell you... I'm so sorry about that.  😧
