AND... since it's almost midnight here, and it's Wednesday SOMEWHERE... Let's get woo-hooing (but in the happy sense, not in the SIMS sense... keep it G, people!!!)
What are you celebrating this WOOHOO WEDNESDAY?
I'll start with: I got an email confirming pick-up of my new bees next Tuesday. We lost our colony 2 winters ago and I didn't want to replace them last year because I wasn't sure whether we'd be moving. I went ahead and bet on getting accepted to Nursing school (which means that even if H gets accepted to an out-of-state medical school, I won't be moving, we'd just have 2 households for a while,) and ordered these little guys back in March, which is SUPER-LATE in the beekeeping game, and I was lucky to find any... and for a great price, too! The downside? I have to pick them up next week at 8am 90 miles north of here... then drive home in a car full of 20,000 bees...
But it *WAS* good news to hear that (a)my order wasn't lost (b) they are arriving on time!!! I still haven't told the kids, they will be SO excited! It sounds weird, but there is something so calming about just sitting in my herb garden, watching my clever little girls come and go and hearing them buzz so contentedly. (And it's funny when they carry pollen, because they stick it all over their back legs, so they look like they are wearing bright yellow "hammer pants..." that never gets old...)
I'm *HOPING* to have another woohoo late Wednesday evening, but it's still tentative, so I'm not telling until it's for sure... (oooooohhhh, mysterious!!!!!)
