Wednesday, July 8, 2009Is this a bee? It looks like a bumble bee and is about that size but I never saw a bumble bee acting the predator so I'm guessing it's not really a bee. It was on the raspberry bushes this morning clutching this unfortunate snap beetle in a suspicious way. Everybody has to eat, so I don't object to predators, being one myself, I'm just curious. But meantime, the black caps are getting ripe rapidly and the garden is starting to show signs of producing a crop. I have a summer squash, some little peppers, green tomatoes. I pulled three radishes this morning and the cucumbers and melons are blooming. I think the beans are about to also. My bush peas are getting long and floppy and show no signs of bushing... I think that packet lied to me!  I think I'll haul some dirt over there tomorrow and bank up my leeks. I'm told I need to do that as they grow. And I am still working on the WeaveZine Lace shawl in the evenings... posted @ 05:35 PM PST [link] 4th yardsale   Didn't realize it had been so long since I posted. Things have been frantic around here lately! We held a community yard sale at the Country Store on the 4th and did a pretty brisk business, made a few bucks and got rid of a LOT of 'stuff'. Not all of it, unfortunately, but a lot. That's Randy and a neighbor leaning on one load for the sale. Since then we have spent most of our time in the looms shop... orders have been pouring in. That's good! Glad weavers are happy with our looms, but it means my nose has been to the grindstone, so to speak and not much else gets done. Randy has gone to do a house inspection for a local realtor this morning and here I sit, goofing off, I'm sure he'd say, but I'm about to head for the shop again. If you are waiting for your looms... They're coming, I promise!  posted @ 08:31 AM PST [link] |
