3/31: inconceivable

Twenty years ago I wouldn't have believed you if you told me that one Saturday morning I'd be standing in a clearing amid trees near my house in Arkansas, wearing my pajamas and watching thousands of bees swarming.

I took some pictures of the swarm. The bees were moving so fast that they became golden blurs in the photos:


In this one (below), you can see the swarm hanging from a branch on the mid-right. It was too high in the tree for us to reach, so these bees are now on their own....

You're further into spring than we are. Our trees are in bloom but there aren't that many baby leaves. Love the pix!

We seem to be about 10 days to 2 weeks ahead of previous years. We barely had a winter so everything's been happening sooner and more quickly--we're worried what this means about our summer: will it be even longer and hotter than usual?
