Winter Strikes Again

This is what I woke up to in the back yard this morning - my husband's bee hive covered in snow. I guess Mother Nature decided she needed a little more winter. I was really enjoying my taste of spring. *Sigh* I bet the bees are ready for spring too...

A checked them a few days ago and he says they made it through the winter. He'll be starting a new hive this spring. I didn't realize it until A started keeping bees last year - bee suppliers will send the bees to you in the mail! I would have loved to see our Post Master's face when the buzzing box arrived.

This is what I am ready for... spring flowers and sunshine. (I took this photo last summer.)

    I'm a southern girl that was moved to Nebraska (9 years ago), kicking and screaming, (why you ask)cause yesterday was 40's in APRIL and then I call home to hear them talking about 70's :(

    This post scares me....I'm sooo allergic to bees...I need a fly swatter!

    When I read your blog I feel like I'm reading a book- it's so interesting!! But my fear level could not do the whole drive over frozen lake thing...I can't imagine how organized you have to be- I live 2 miles from Walmart so organized..not so much!

    I love all the photos on your blog. The bee in the flower is great and the ones of the lake are beautiful.

    I'm sharing your "pain". It was warm enough for just a sweatshirt here today. It can't last much longer.
