a beautiful day in the neighborhood
Apr. 14th, 2024 08:13 pmi went for a walk this evening and then went for another because it felt so wonderful outside: low 70s, breezy, and for this area, dry, a combination we rarely get. i enjoyed it greatly.
just before dark, i counted noses in my bee house: ten. i bought twenty pupae and set them out a month ago, so not all of them opened, or not all of the bees stuck around. and apparently none of the bees from the old pupae stuck around either, since some of the previously-filled nesting tubes are clearly open. very strange.
all three of my older blueberry bushes have flowers, though relatively few. maybe the drought and heat last year was just worse than i thought, and that finished the one bush off. both of the new bushes have also managed a floret or two, so i should get to see what their fruit is like.
