Sorry CC. I should have kept my

Why? Always speak up.
My daughter doesn't speak Spanish but she would still go.

Scg: I am ordering a starter kit from Mann Lake and 5 frames and a queen locally. Could u help me?

Work the hive on warm sunny days. Never after dark, when it is raining, or when it is below 60F.
Get the large smoker. The small one won't stay lit long enough to do anything other than allow a quick peek inside.
Get more equipment now, hive bodies, frames and foundation. When the hive is growing, you have to be ready to add bodies and supers immediately. You can't wait days while new stuff is shipped and assembled.

Kluckychik I hope your be hives thrive.

Di Do...PA.? I thought you didn't like the cold!

Cynthia the winters here are probably not any worse than Utah and I am about four hours away from my DD and DS. If I have to live where there's winter, I might as well live close to them. Besides I am also fairly close to SGC which may or may not be "dangerous" ;-)

We've managed to skirt danger, so far.

Don't let them kid you, Cyn, I was prepared for mayhem and bedlam when they hit town. We didn't even get in trouble. The worst thing that happened was we crossed a line that said, "Caution - Snake Den." We didn't see any snakes, nor did anyone see us do it. The funny thing is, we found out later that the sign was a ruse. If they had posted the actual reason the area was closed off, we wouldn't have gone there.

Agreed Wisher. Who want's a buzzard to puke on you?? Had the sign said, "CAUTION puking buzzards" we never would have crossed the line

Not so fast. Your neighbors elected LePage.

Tune in at the 9:00 minute mark.

Edited to make it family friendly.
You can look it up. John Oliver and Governor LePage.

Sorry, don't mean to offend.

I wish that Toronto mayor was still around. He was a hoot. And he didn't represent me.

I work in a very political environment. Did I tell you about the time I literally turned a corner and ran into LePage? I could have died. It couldn't have been scripted better and now that it's over I can laugh about it. The whole shebang was there, and here I am, after just committing an office B&E and trying to get the heck out of there quickly... bam! I ended up getting stuck in the people traffic because he travels with a giant entourage and it was a veritable meet and greet. Everyone was sucking up to him and the other big wigs. I was just trying to scoot along the wall after my altercation like some kind of cockroach. He also made a speech a few weeks back thanking our Veterans for their service and allowing him the continued freedom to exercise his first amendment rights, which he sometimes exercised too much. I laughed out loud on that one.



I got another quilt top completely finished. In case you haven't figured it out by now, I have a form of sewing ADD and am usually working on at least 4 projects at once. This one is a quilting sampler - each block has a different design. Some I really sucked at, some not so much. But it made a nice texture on the top of the quilt. It's in the dryer right now (it had an unfortunate incident with some spray glue and the cat) and will be gifted as soon as I'm off overnights.










With this one being done that brings me to only 2 active projects. Luckily I'm starting a new one, soon.

Wow I love the way those colors pop with the black framing them! Very pretty. The recipient will love it, I'm sure!
