The bees are buzzing. Fortunately, neither spouse or I are allergic to bee stings (as far as we know!) so it is fun to watch bees in action.
This one flew from zinnia to zinnia, doing its bee thing.
We rejoice in our fresh fruits and vegetables (and in fresh flowers for the table) even as we thank these tireless little workers.

My husband has been gardening for most of his life. So have I, but I generally do the less strenuous work. If you considered gardening for this special year, or if you actually tried it out: did you know that gardening is good for you?
Consider this article on longevity and those who garden.
And then there's the cooking, and I will have a nice recipe for you later this month featuring either eggplant or tomato. Maybe both!
Today also would have been singer Whitney Houston's 57th birthday. She tragically passed away in 2012 at the age of 48. For your Sunday dancing pleasure, I bring you her hit "I Wanna Dance with Somebody". I'll have more music for you tomorrow when I participate in the Music Moves Me blogging group.
Happy Sunday to my readers. I hope you are all staying safe.
When I bought my home in 1972, there was a beekeeper up on the corner. I am highly allergic but managed to never get stung. Alas, bees now are few and far between.
ReplyDeleteSad what happened to Whitney ...
ReplyDeleteThere are few bees in our desert climate. Sad.
ReplyDeleteWhitney Houston had a phenomenal voice. "I Will Always Love You" makes me cry.
I mean to build a solitary bee house, but keep forgetting. Honey bees are what people always think of when they hear "Save the Bees," but they aren't native to the US, and aren't really all that good at pollinating! I get a lot of bumblebees.
ReplyDelete...I've been gone for a few day, my tomatoes are finally ripening while I was gone.
ReplyDeleteI've never done the gardening thing. I don't like the dirt. And I know nothing about it. Maybe someday something will spark an interest.
ReplyDeleteHi Alana - so glad you're both gardening and keeping extra fit in the circumstances. Nature is amazing and I love watching the birds, butterflies and bees buzz around. Whitney had an extraordinary voice - and this is a great song ... stay safe - Hilary
