The weather had turned quite chilly and rainy last week but this week we are enjoying the wonderfully warm days of Indian Summer at Hard Bargain Farm. It is all we can do to keep our minds on work and our bodies at our desks until lunch.Yesterday we moved the picnic table out from under the shade of the grape arbor and placed it in the sunny side yard among the blooms of buttercups, the bees from my coworker's hives at work all around us.
I look forward to starting my own hive next spring. I have selected a location in my own garden where the morning sun will signal the bees to begin their day. I've designed the area to include flowers and water and it will be near enough to the porch where I may sit and observe them without interference.
I really enjoyed lunch yesterday watching the gentle bees. Tomorrow is expected to bring drizzling rain and chilly temps. Maybe I can squeeze in one last lunch with the bees today...
