This is Sophie. She has a classic case of dandelion toes, a rare condition caused by running through fields of dandelions. Luckily it is completely harmless and ridiculously cute. 14/10

Looks like that little guy can barely see! But I'd imagine when he cleans himself up, it will have been delicious.

I don’t know all that much about bees, but I do like to watch them in the garden. They seem to like what I planted there. Echinaceas, blue balloon flowers, dianthus, and more! There’s stuff I forgot about that’s come up again and flourishing and they seem to like that, too. Really cool!

So satisfying out there!

My wife is very fond of reminding me how useless the males are once the mate with the queen. The drones are pretty much dead weight just hang around and use up resources… she thinks theres a human message in there somewhere.

And spend my retirement keeping bees. After all: I'd played the guy on stage...how hard could it be?
I soon found out when my brother in law invited me to help out with his twelve hives. We spent the whole day at it, from opening the first hive to centrifuging the last comb. Then he told me that if he didn't belong to a co-op he'd never be able to take a vacation!
I remind myself of that every time that fantasy enters my mind, now.

when she was little was very blonde to the point her hair almost looked white. She and her sister spent many a day at the pool. At one point in the summer her hair would have a tinge of green to it from the chemicals they put in the pool. My parents would say it was from the chlorine. That was back in the sixties.

That’s what my parents used to say she was. Haven’t heard that term for many years.
