1. Our busy week started with Saturday. The Professor had a meeting at 9am. I had Fiber Arts Group at 11am. And then we drove north more than an hour to visit Milk and Honey Acres which was having an open house. I enjoy buying and using their salves, and they experimented and made one with tallow instead of beeswax just for me. It was a busy day but it was filled with blessings.
2. On Tuesday, I received a text from Tall Boy noting that he needed a ride to the high school for the honors convocation ceremony. Umm, ok. We didn't know about it... The Professor had Trail Life to attend, so he dropped us off at the high school, and later his mom arrived (just getting off work) in time to watch him stand and receive his award.
Yes, he really is that tall.
And after the ceremony, Tall Boy and his mom had a silly photo shoot.
3. Wednesday noon was a special time. We have a friend who lives in Vietnam and works with an NGO there. We were friends when we lived in California. But now her mom is living in Columbus, so she visits here whenever she is in the US. So we always plan a lunch time to catch up on our lives. I am so thankful for this friendship!
4. Lots of garden time. I have been outside working in our gardens almost everyday this week. Except today because it has been raining nonstop all day. So much weeding to do. And making changes like adding more beds for wild flowers. I am thankful that we have enough property that we can add more areas to have lots of flowers for our bees.
5. Speaking of bees... our hives are going bonkers. So busy doing their business of making honey.
I am thankful for our beekeeper Steve. He comes immediately if there is an issue. Yesterday, he arrived in five minutes to close up our hives (and our neighbor's hives) when there was a suspicious smell all over our neighborhood. Then this morning he returned and checked the hives to make sure 'the girls' are healthy. They are. And maybe soon, we will have more honey.
And tomorrow is another busy Saturday. Tall Boy graduates from high school!!

Hi Willow, I enjoyed reading your post. It is so nice to see kids go to graduate activities and move up. Today was the last day of school for the seniors and my grandson was going to the senior Luau. He was able to wear a Hawaiian shirt that belonged to my dad. That is neat that you have honeybees! Fresh honey is so good! Congratulations to Tall Boy!
...being busy is a good thing!
