The latest buzz...

Everything is growing like bonkers around here. My lettuce and spinach sprouts are lookin' good and my prairie plants are growing like weeds. They say it all began in a garden and I'm not going to dispute it. My homestead isn't exactly the Garden of Eden, but it's a darn nice place to be. A bumblebee got into my house tonight and I coaxed it onto a broom and took it outside. I used to be afraid of buzzing things when I was young but now I see them as the bringers of life that they really are. Einstein was right about the honeybee--if they disappeared, mankind would have but four years. So please use only organic products on all your flowers and vegetables and help save the bees. And by the way, if you have allergies, eating bee pollen, a small amount at a time, can help to desensitize you to the allergens.
