BeeKeepers

Last weekend Sara, RJ And Tyler Garcia came and helped us clean out the attic portion of the house.  We had a great time just playing around out there and the weather was fantastic.

This week is a bit cooler,  and we have spent Saturday at the beekeeper field day.  We have officially finished our class and are certified beekeepers.  Our new bee colony should arrive in the next few weeks and we are anxiously awaiting the arrival of our new tenants.

Sunday promises warmer weather and we plan to hike the woods to plant the 100 native red bud and dogwood trees we got from the county extension office.  We also hope to dig the hole for our new mailbox and a new entrance gate.

We receive our official certificate and sign from the National Wildlife Federation and we are now a certified wild life habitat.  We are still waiting on the results of the Audubon Society's survey of the land.

Chris is working hard on quotes for the well and looking in to possibly building a pole barn to store our furniture in the event that we do end up moving out there.  Thank goodness he does not have to work at a real job right now because he is really busy!
