Blog slacker...

I've been a bit of a blog slacker. I've been far too busy counting down the days until we're freed from the Penn-itentiary...
Mostly we've been working in the yard and making garden plans (making them, not yet executing them). We have had a little fun....

We went to the Tulip Festival with Bud and Kelli and my Mom...The tulips were lovely but the boys were pretty adorable too!


Eli really likes Uncle Art....

Art spent most of the day with Eli insisting that Art push...

I wonder why?
Eli was also the official map reader... a very important job.

Mostly we ignored those antics and enjoyed the tulips.

We also had an exciting adventure in our backyard this week. Our neighbor has a hive and one morning it 'swarmed' (this is when there is a new queen and she takes a part of the hive and moves to a new place). Her new place was our Lilac bush. We got to come out and take pictures before our neighbor sprayed them with sugar water to satiate and then moved them into a new hive.
Yes I was standing about 1 foot from 6000+ bees....
We are going to keep the new hive in our yard for the summer, hopefully it will make my plants insanely lovely!

So beyond that, the fun has been in CRT tests, Spring Fever in 10 year olds, putting together the end-of-year play, and squashing all summer daydreaming to fit 'one more thing' in... 18 days, but who's counting?
