All the Secrets of the Universe and Some Really Important Stuff Too!
The hive of bees that resides in the rafters of my detached garage is waking up again. I’ve seen a few fat bumbles buzzing about on guard duty lately. Hopefully they’ll begin spreading their joy (and pollen) throughout my garden as it slowly emerges from its winter’s slumber.
Inside the house I’ve only seen a couple of stink bugs hanging about. Outside I haven’t seen anything. But Camera Girl saw a house fly emerge from the snow a couple of weeks ago. Not very picturesque. But better days are right around the corner.

Thank God for forty-ounce jars of peanut butter, man’s latest weapon in the War on Terrible Insects.
Well said. Now it’s time for us to collaborate on a cross-site activity. I’m interested in any suggestions you may have.

I’d like to put together a questionnaire of things that I think are significant, say five questions. If you come up with a similar number we can cross post. I’ll put your answers up on my site and you can put my answers on yours. But our own answers won’t be on our sites. This will force our… Read more »
Dude, I’m down. Shoot some questions to my e-mail address. I’m writing all afternoon today to get ahead on some posts (my goal is to get everything scheduled through this next Sunday, 21 March 2021 so I can use time during the week to focus on some other backburnered projects), so I should be able to answer them later this evening, and send along my five questions to you.
Will do.
