birds and the bees

This is a great entry from Birdchick - she's been raising bees this summer, and this is the tale of her first bee sting. Scary, but funny!
Speaking of bees, they're thick around here. I'm mostly okay with the honey bees and the bumblebees, but the yellow jackets and other wasps are not fun neighbors. They are all completely in love with the pumpkins and sunflowers right now - I saw one bee that was so covered in pollen that I really couldn't tell if it was a bumblebee or not!! I think it wasn't - it appeared to be smaller, but still fuzzy so it was probably a honey bee. Anyway, other than worrying about stepping on one while watering the garden it was kind of cool seeing them happy. Except for the darn yellow jackets. grr.
So glad tomorrow is Friday. It's seemed like a long week, and each day fairly long. This weekend is going to be another work filled weekend. Oh joy. heh. Well, ultimately it will be joyful so it's okay.
