For his birthday last year, Kim gave Doug a Mason bee house. And, now - ta-dah - bees are making it their home. Below it, on the fence, we have hung a planter of purple petunias. This is akin to having Thrifty's move in down the street: unexpected, but you can't beat the convenience. The bees are very camera-shy, so a whimsical illustration shall have to do.
Today was one of leisure (in contrast to that of the Pietraszeks & Gidneys). I picked up my new lenses, made a visit to Value Village and in the afternoon had tea and a three hour talk-a-thon with my friend, Anne. We never run out of topics of conversation.
Nellie and I walked over to Pic-a-Flic and snagged Stories We Tell (Sarah Polley). Me and my slippers and robe will settle in for an evening of tv.
In the news: Senategate carries on.
That sounds like a very lovely way to spend the day. Winnie the Pooh and honey too.
