Four seasons of life, mine and the honeybees, in the garden and in the mountains of Western North Carolina

A World of White
Snow fell lightly all day Sunday, but by late evening had quit. My husband remarked as we were headed to bed that maybe the predicted 3 - 5 inches was going to miss us this time. He was wrong...
Kat - It is beautiful and I've finally just decided to be happy about it because there's nothing else I can do.
Jared - Bring on the skis! After we dug out 2 weeks ago, I left the garden gate open so I can get in. The bees in Ora are buzzing away - snug inside. Hope they can get out later in the week.
It was certainly interesting for me to read this blog. Thanks for it. I like such topics and anything connected to them. I definitely want to read more on that blog soon.
Far out Lynn, can you please send me some of that snow - please !! It is hot and humid and I loath it - I am an autumn/winter person and dread the late summer.
My hives are buzzing madly, bearding outside all night ! I think I may have to take one comb from my TB hive soon, it is a very busy place with not alot of extra space. .
Will there be bees in heavenly places? Will there be bees? Winging their way through the golden spaces To fruitify the eternal trees That yield their sweet life-giving store Month-by-month forevermore Will soft bee music haunt the stream Whose waters shine with crystal glow And will they come to where lilies gleam To sip the eternal nectar flow? Lord, Thou dids' love our earthly places Birds and flowers and shady trees Let there be bees in heavenly places Let there be bees.

I'm a Master Gardener and Certified Beekeeper in the mountains of Western North Carolina. I've been gardening for as long as I can remember and just completed my second season as a beekeeper. I've always loved being in my organic garden and I'm totally hooked on beekeeping.
I also love where I live. There are 4 distinct seasons in the mountains, although Mother Nature does not always respect the calendar, and each bring changes to my garden. All four seasons are beautiful. I hope you'll enjoy my view of life in the garden, beeyard and beyond in these beautiful hills.

more beautiful photos! We got a half inch in the a.m. and are expecting more this evening. The a.m. snow has already melted.
It seems as you guys might want to consider opening a ski resort! Have you been able to make it to your hive stand, or is it too deep?
