hmmmm. snails...
Mmmmh. Homestyle escargot!
Oriole Parker-Rhodes, 59, a grandmother, has begun making meals out of the snails she has found in her garden and has set up an internet blog with her recipes and tips, and information on keeping and breeding them.
“Last summer it was really wet and warm, ideal for snails,” she said. “I was treading on them and they were also eating our home-grown potatoes.”

Savor the natural joys of simple pleasures. – I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, the best things in life are free. They come in the form of simple pleasures and they appear right in front of you at various locations and arbitrary times. They are governed by Mother Nature and situational circumstance and captured by mindful awareness. It’s all about taking a moment to notice the orange and pink sunset reflecting off the pond water as you hold hands with someone you love. Noticing these moments and taking part in them regularly will bring unpredictable bursts of happiness into your life.

Bee-lining has been much discussed on a couple of my bee groups lately. I think it is amazing.
Back before the days of mail order bees (which I’d argue against buying by the way) people had to know a beekeeper to get into the hobby. Or they could go bee-lining, and try to get a feral hive.

You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She’s not perfect – you aren’t either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break – her heart. So don’t hurt her, don’t change her, don’t analyze and don’t expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she’s not there.

The simplicity of these complex foot powered machines is amazing. They are brilliant.

Ok, maybe this wasn’t the most traditional way to catch a buzz on your birthday. And, maybe I got a little tipsy later that night. I guess that would be two buzzes by a truthful count.
The first buzz was from a honeybee hive.

We got our chickens today! Seven Silver Laced Wyandottes and nine Buff Orpingtons. Woot!
Really, they are quite disgustingly cute. Pics after the click.
