This will be a quick post. Rhonda came over today so we could get Fall Fest figured out, and she left a bit ago, and it was around 11:00pm. It's after midnight now.
We took a break around 3:00 or so I think to get lunch and while we were eating a huge storm came up and rained and poured, we waited it out and then went home. On the way we saw like metal stuff in the fields and I guess a microburst went through while we were gone. Luckily it didn't do anything to our place (that we know of). But some of our friends have a mess to clean up, trees down, trees through roofs, roofs flying off houses…ugh.
The stupid bees are still up in the tree and if they are there tomorrow I am calling the pest control company. We moved Alice and the chicks as they were directly under it. Also when I got up this morning Jeff said that Alice was done laying and sure enough, the last three eggs were not viable, and she was not laying on them anymore, in fact she was covering them with dirt at one point. I said "what about these babies?" One was cracked but the little chick was dead and stinky so I threw it away, I left the other two in there, and then when I went out later she had just pushed them over to the door of the coop and her and the babies were in the back all snuggly warm, so I threw them away. We are happy that 6 of the 9 hatched. I will wait a few days before we move Alice and the babies in the big pen. We are going to enclose them in the smaller side yard pen they used to use so that they can get a big bigger but have more running around room, but with this crazy weather I am glad they are up off the ground.
I wanted to show you this gorgeous card I got from my friend and downline Kathya Hidalgo, she sent her check for Fall Fest in it. I love it. Thanks Kathya!
I better get my butt to bed, I have a workshop on Wednesday and there are 21 people going to be there, so I need to cut paper tomorrow.
Have an awesome Monday and thanks for stopping in.
ooo that is very pretty.
Congratulations on all the new editions!
Alice did a great job!!
Luv ya

the card is really clever. I love those colors…. Very creative lady Kathya is….
6 out of 9 baby's… really amazing. How soon can you tell which are male and which are female? Gonna be fun at your house…. and I'm really glad the storm stayed away from the babies….lol.
Thanks for sharing your card
Diana, Do you have a bee swarm in your tree? Call a local beekeeper. Usually, I think they are happy to come collect a new swarm for honey production. Really pretty card!
Beautiful card, Di, even if you didn't make it. Ha! You train your down line well! I have been missing your posts since convention since for some reason they just quit appearing in my mailbox. Mornings aren't quite the same without my cup of coffee and Di's news! I will try resubscribing and hope I don't get two every morning.
P.S. The words I had to type to prove I am not a computer were either Greek or upside-down-and-backwards, 'cause I couldn't read them. I'll see what comes up this time!
Hi Dee,
Love your site. When we lived in Missouri we had a swarm of bees take residence in a tree in our front yard. After many calls to many
organizations we called a beekeeper who was happy to come out and round them up. He put
a hive in the yard, went up the tree on a ladder and gently got the queen bee who he
put in the hive. He left the hive there all
day and by nightfall all the bees were in the
hive. It was fascinating. Hope that helps.
