Weekending ... Now With More Bees!

It rained here all day Saturday, but that provided me with a great day for reading,


and baking some chocolate chip cookies.


When the clouds began to clear around sunset, the sky was lovely and dramatic.





A sunny Sunday gave me a great reason to knit on the porch, and wander around the park looking for budding trees to hang my knitting on.



I was admiring my grape hyacinths when I noticed lots of movement ... bees! I got so excited to see them that I took lots of pictures. Some of them are hard to find at first, but every picture has a bee collecting pollen. 






This was certainly not a wild and crazy weekend, but a good book, warm cookies, beautiful skies,
 some knitting, and bees sure made me happy. Hope you had a good one, too!

  7. Yay for bees and yay for knitting hanging in trees!! Looks great Bonny. I keep looking for our grape hyacinths, and the only ones so far are coming up in the driveway (gravel) rather than the flower beds! Let us know how Bear Town is!!!

    1. I pretty much knew where the bees were and still had trouble seeing some of them! I'm very glad we've got some pollinators around; I thought it was too wet and chilly for bees.
