Day #169 Gotta Lighten Up

Okay. I’m tired of grumping about the rain and worrying about what it’s doing to bees throughout the area. And the birds shaking off their wet feathers and trying to find food. And the various animals, and people, too, who are caught unavoidably in the rain.

So, here are some pictures I took last week to remind us all that weather does change if we wait long enough.  

Delphinums as Epcot Center,  and

a friend I met underground at Animal Kingdom

And now a note about the devastation in Japan:
My good friend Doug Gazlay, who is a musician/writer/producer in Atlanta, has composed a "SongForJapan" to help raise money for relief efforts there. If you'd like to download the music from CDBaby, a hefty portion of the proceeds goes to a good cause. Here's a link to the song trailer.

Day #164 No Bees at Disney World

I've just returned from four days in Florida. Yes, even though it was a vacation, I took my laptop so I could post each day. And no, I didn't mention Disney because I feel funny telling the world that my house is unattended (except for my wonderful friend Millie who stops by frequently to take care of my cats any time I'm out of state).

There's a lovely flower show going on in Epcot Center. And I spent most of the time looking for honeybees. I didn't see a single one. I guess they can't encourage bees there because of the thousands of people who might bother the bees by flailing their arms around. Still, with all the busy-ness going on around me, the place seemed oddly silent without any little buzz-ers flying around. Disney doesn’t seem to welcome bees.

The good news: there were bees in the 3-D program It’s Tough to be a Bug at Animal Kingdom.

You’ve probably been there—maybe many times—so I don’t need to talk about all the goings-on in WDW. My feet may take a few days to recover; you know that feeling.

Did I have a good time? Yes.

Am I happy to be home? Yes.

Will my bees have a happy welcome here when they arrive? YES!

BEEattitude for Day # 164:

       Blessed are those who welcome bees to their flowers, for they shall have the music of our buzzing.

One thing Fran is grateful for right now:

       The Animal Kingdom employee whose eyes lit up when she told us about her favorite white rhinos.
