Foto Friday - More Bees

Hello friends,  

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

I'm a little late with foto Friday, I'm afraid I have been in a food coma and I highly

suspect that it's our long standing family tradition of homemade egg noodles that did it.

I am thankful for traditions that I get to pass on to my kids and not only are the noodles a
tradition, but a family affair. When we were first married I made the noodles by myself until I was
pregnant and couldn't get close enough to the counter to roll them out! So as tradition has it,
my husband rolls out the dough, I roll the dough up into logs and cut them and the kids then unroll
them and lay them to dry.

In between baking and cooking I did manage to get out and get some photos this week. I

stopped off at a little public garden down our main street where I found hibiscus and roses blooming

their little hearts out, but I have to say there was something else that caught my attention.

Honey bees . . . and as I watched them I thought about how thankful I am for these

amazing flying insects because of their dutiful life that allows me to eat some incredible

fruits and vegetables and for my camera that allowed me to record it. 

I have a feeling, I'll be back again next week . . .


The happiness of the bee and the dolphin is to exist.
For man it is to know that and wonder at it.

And check it out . . . the pear trees are finally starting to change and drop their leaves!

Then, I went back to check on the Monarch's and crossed my fingers . . . and look what I found!

Monarch caterpillars, and quite a few of them!

Now if only when I go back I can find out where they decided to wait out their transformation!

I have never seen a monarch chrysalis in person.
