Journey Through Ideas

Our latest swarm covered our mailbox today. It could have made it difficult for our postal delivery person, but we got all those bees into a box pretty quickly. (at Cary, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp3aORWPfhZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Blue. Deep. Falls Lake. Ellerbe Creek basin. Summer in Spring. Stillness. Fresh air. (at Falls Lake, Durham N.C) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpdzLggMXzL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Came across this turtle carcass during the litter sweep yesterday (with a group from the Mountains-to-Sea Trail an NC Wildlife Federation) in Ellerbe Creek basin at Falls Lake. (at Falls Lake, Durham N.C) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpdGmGIO5tK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Our little honey buddies are doing fine here at Vees Bees in Braemar Gardens. We expect a good honey harvest but more importantly everyone is healthy. (at Cary, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpOY5-LMqgd/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Awesome Book Sale at the Chapel Hill Public Library. Parking lot full but all were quiet and well behaved, befitting being in a library. Here is the stack of books I bought. (at Chapel Hill Public Library) https://www.instagram.com/p/CltsIuRuSrW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It was so much fun, last week, being at Clingman's Dome and walking out to the observation tower. The weather was superb and the views were spectacular. (at Clingman’s Dome, Great Smoky Mountains) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkMpZjHj1CF/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Does anybody else read books like this? Thanks to the used book stores and thrift stores of western Nirth Carolina. (at Friends of the Marianna Black Library) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkHIbQDuDCk/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Only one day of thrifting and I got all these interesting non-fiction titles. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cjc_U9qObAa/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Save the honey bee. It's not unusual for us to find an individual bee in the house. Whether they fly in accidentally when we have the front door open or hitch a ride on us after inspecting a hive. A drop of honey in a container is a good lure. (at Cary, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjK_PANuQw2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Nothing like a good library booksale to restore my equilibrium. It offered quite a variety of books. What a fun morning expedition to Pittsboro. I think I have enough reading for awhile now. (at Chatham Community Library) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ci5Sct-ucpY/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

You gotta eat. Rise Against Hunger does more than just provide food but the meal packaging event is a great way to get people involved. #riseagainsthunger #ctkisonthemove (at Rise Against Hunger Warehouse) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiVdePDO1tF/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Yesterday was a perfect day to hike all the way around Lake Crabtree with friends. Just enough clouds and cool breezes. The trail is rough in spots but mostly level with the lake. What a great park! We'll be back to rent kayaks or canoes sometime. (at Lake Crabtree County Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiKgZPAOu2d/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Giraffes are just beautiful and majestic creatures. If you want to see them, the NC Zoo is a wonderful place to get close. (at North Carolina Zoo) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChxwTqCvLE4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
