The bee saga continues at home. Luckily, the beekeeper will be here on Monday morning, so we can walk a little easier outside.

What started as just a few bees quickly morphed into a dark group of thousands of bees at the top of our front porch. During the day, the bees are still active in the porch, but also a large “clump” of bees has taken up residence on the ground at the edge of the porch below a Juniper tree. It’s a first for us…

We also had a recent visit from seven javalina. Below are some links of interest. Enjoy! Have a great weekend…

It’s the first day of Spring, and we’re enjoying sunny days and temps in the 80’s, so it’s a pretty nice time to be in Arizona. The flowers are popping up daily (and our noses are running!) Some pics to follow in an upcoming post.
