Bama did it say what kind of thought leader - as in maybe "BAD" thoughts?

Nowaways everybody gets awards, Like kids who finish all the ice cream in a carton - unfortunately no such prize for adults who do the same.

Here you go Diva....

I do not like candy but I love icecream!
Going to have some right now, vanilla with rhubarb slop on top, mmm good. You should try it Diva
Just chunk up some rhubarb cook it down add sugar towards the end to taste and slop it on icecream, or homemade biscuits, or angelfood cake, or eat it like we did when we were kids plain straight out of a bowl cold and sometimes rather tart if the wasn't much sugar.

I have never had rhubarb

Yeah I thought if we painted them dark it would be enough, but we looked today about how to wrap them in the fall. Will definitely be doing that this year.

I hived them a different way this year, put extra boxes on the bottom then just placed the package box in that and then the frames on top of that with the queen. It's supposed to be less traumatic than the shake method.

I'm looking into wrapping my hives this winter too.
The honey flow is so strong now I can't keep up with adding hive bodies, building frames and getting them installed.
I have so many chicks hatching, it's just an all day workload. I came in from building frames because it just started pouring rain.
I added a super to one hive yesterday but need to do two more hives today if it stops raining.

I have never had rhubarb

I haven't had rhubarb since a bar bought the old homestead, turned it into a restaurant and paved over the garden. I should have salvaged some of the grape vines and rhubarb before they did that.
I used to eat it all the time as a kid.

Do you have 3 hives? I think I might get honey this year, if I'm lucky. Red team still had almost a full box of honey (I do all mediums) on top and pretty full in the middle box. Blue team had some but not as much (they lived weeks longer than red team). No one has to build comb, though. Here's hoping. I'm almost out of honey from last year and really using it sparingly. I can't imagine knowing how good it is and not having it.

I can hear Miss Piggy screaming through the open windows. It is apparently bedtime. I must go be her chariot to the roost.

SCG Can you make a video of Ms.Piggy acting up -with sound - I know we'd all enjoy it.

Long ago, we had Dee Dee with whirling dervish, a cocker that won her championship so fast she never got lead trained. Anyhow she had many odd habits. When she decided it was chow time she would stand on her hind legs and play the gate like a harp while uttering 'uh uh uh uh' loudly and for as long as it took to get results. She would also drool so profusely, her paws were soaking wet and she rusted the gate wire. She was a real favorite anyhow.

I had a video of Miss Piggy but I deleted my YouTube channel a few weeks ago.

That dog sounds... disturbed! And a bit like Pippy. Pippy decides it's time to be let out, or eat and tries to climb the fence while SCREAMING. Top of her lungs scream. If there's one sound that doesn't endear you to me, it's screaming. I tell her all the time that she's a really sweet goat but I want to kill her. Or at least remove her vocal cords.

Don't worry, Diva, I'm still here. I was out at the cottage last night, then spent the day taking apart the old pier. New one's coming June 12th.

Then I met some friends in the evening.

Now I shall go to sleep.
