The Woodson News: Busy as Bees

My peach trees have the most beautiful blossoms. Yesterday, the bees were humming through them all, from blossom to blossom. They made an occasional trip to the apricot trees with their white blossoms and to the pears, which need to be planted. Hoping for fruit this summer. Buzz, little bees, buzz.

I couldn’t resist a trip to the nursery, and am now protecting the plants I bought from the upcoming weather events. I didn’t get them all planted, so they are sitting on my porch, awaiting a new spot to take root. I will be there little plants. I will be there. Buzz little bees.

This week there has been two days of OAP (Bi-District results to follow next week); well, actually three, if you count the Community Performance and Dessert Theatre. It was wonderful, the floor of the Historic Old Gym Theatre was full and desserts were consumed. Everyone seemed to enjoy the play and seemed full and happy. Thank you to all who attended and who donated to help cut the costs for the kids. The support is amazing. The kids and I are grateful to you all. Buzz.
