Poor girl. Mike likes her, so we didn't butcher and have her for a family get together, as was the plan. He even surprised me and said, "We need to get her a mate."

She's a beautiful girl. Strange that she only wants black chicks.
Bee inspection time this morning before it gets hot. I was very surprised at how quickly they are fillling up the super.
It's difficult to hold a heavy frame of honey with bees on it in one hand and take pictures through a veil with the other hand. But here's what I got:
One of the outer frames. Partially capped honey, and uncapped honey.
This frame is filling up nicely.
Looks like I'll need to start honey extraction in a few weeks.

And since I had the camera out, and the lighting was nice this morning for pictures, I took some random photos.

Kathy, could you please ask Mike to get a little video of you and Toni the Turkey dooking it out? I would pay to see that.
Oh wait. You're blond. She'll kill you. Nevermind.

My top producing/champion Cocker was a fantastic broody. Breeze was a dominant black so no matter who was the father, she produced only black or black & tan pups. Her room mate Dee Dee was red and always bred red/buff.
Dee Dee was a bit ditzy and sorta liked her pups a for the first three days. After that she wanted OUT. Luckily she and Breeze usually had litters at the same time. Breeze never harmed any puppies BUT, BOY OH BOY, did she love the blond ones.
Funny how animals can be.
Have to say Toni the turkey does NOT get Mother of the Year award.

We rushed to my FIL yesterday, about an hour and a half west, to visit him after hearing he was having breathing trouble and the hospice worker had to administer morphine to ease that a couple of times. We visited for a few hours with my sisters in law and my FIL. My husband left saying, "Well, Daddy, I guess this is the last time we'll see each other on this side." He said, no, we'll see each other again. This morning, my FIL woke about 5:30 a.m., told his wife he loved her, they hugged and he was gone.
The phone rang about 6:45 a.m., but Tom was already up. He said he heard a crash of some sort and got up to look outside, but didn't see anything so went into the living room since he was already awake. We knew my FIL probably had less than two weeks, but didn't think he'd be gone the day after our visit. My older son was going out to visit today, but my other is in Korea and of course, can't come.

My condolences to you Cynthia and to Tom and your family. So sorry for your loss.
