Triplets: New Life on a Cloudy Day









I went to SLC yesterday and got a new colony of bees. On my way home my cell phone rang and my daughter informed me that Pinky, our other goat, had triplets. I was grateful that my daughter was able to witness the birth of at least one of the kids. My own children have not been into my little natural-sustainable fettishes. Anyway, it is a cold weekend and I'm going to do everything I can to keep these kids alive.

I learned a new way of installing bees yesterday. I started doing it without dressing up but got stung a couple of times. I should have let them, the bees, sit in the hive for a while before opening them instead of hurrying to get done after the jarring ride in the field.
