Logan mowed my path. I am thankful. Stuff (l don't know what) bites me when the grass gets taller. Bugs like me. Flies bite me. Gnats bite me. And for sure ticks, chiggers and fire ants can really hurt me. I noticed the pink sky near the Lake ahead of me. It beckoned me to come on down the trail.
I found a little snack as I walked along. I thought of the antioxidants they have. I ate a few handfuls. Wasn’t enough to pick for a cobbler..
I really enjoyed the Frozen River. It’s written by Ariel Lawhorn and inspired by the true story of Martha Ballard, a midwife in America in the late 1700’s, an amazing tale about love, family, friendship, survival and a murder mystery as well! I still am pondering if the murder was in her journals?
The Tell was a quick read by AmyGriffin. It’s a memoir. The author has ran from a hidden occurrence in her past since it happened when she 12. Using a drug it surfaced and she remembers again. It’s about facing trauma and trying to heal to live again. Amy reminded me of myself. I have tried to hide and run to forget. Just speaking what happened helps. But…it’s hard to trust and tell as you blame yourself.
Look at all the blooms on the “Covid” plant at Galla Lake. The Buttonbushes were all full of blossoms making the bees very happy. My bees have lost their queen. The keepers bought a Queen but it’ll be 2 more weeks before we can see if they accept her. Without the Queen the hive is like a house full of teenage boys. They sleep and play video games. Their home (hive) is neglected. Nothing gets done. No honey is produced.

Hope your new Queen survives! I like the way you described the worker bees. Made me smile. So good of Logan to mow you a path! I find that absorbine junior is the best treatment for bites that itch in the Summer…but boy if you scratch the area just a bit it burns a bit…maybe a lot! Regrets I think we all have a few and things that happened that were out of our control…someone once told me that to go through the past is like bringing in last weeks garbage and goin through it piece by piece over and over again.
Oh, WAY too many bitey bugs! That sounds miserable. That's great to have a path! Are those blackberries? Ours won't ripen until mid to late August. I loved "The Frozen River" and learned so much about that time period.
