Hi all: You may know that I have a thing for honey bees. I’m mostly enamored with them and sometimes I’m really pissed off at them. But I’m always in awe of them.

Hi all: The Tumbledown Mountain hike was a big success and although it is a popular hike it was new to a number of us. There were six of us hiking yesterday: Nori, Ann, Sara, Stephanie, Julie and me. On the hike up we all admitted to being a little worried that yesterday’s high (and … Read More
