THE BIRDS AND THE BEES

In the country you can always tell when Spring is coming HERE.  We don't need a groundhog to tell us.  Every time we turn around we have more baby geese in the bayou swimming closely behind their mom, baby birds jumping on the ground under the trees from their free fall adventure, snake skins that have been shed if you wonder down the road less traveled, and lastly SWARMS OF BEES.  They come in like a black tornado by the millions.  You can hear them coming from a mile away.  They never bother us, and they have never gotten too close to the house.  Too bad we don't have any landscaping or pretty flowers for them to pollinate this year.  They realized very quickly that our orchard was far from a bee-paradise and they moved on to their next potential home.  Maybe by next spring we will have a little more to offer.....
