Life in late capitalism can be vexing, alienating, fragmenting, and otherwise frustrating. There are many wonderful things in my life, but I'm more likely to talk about what's bad rather than what's good. I'm going to try to post one good thing here each day, and if you would join in by adding a good thing from your day in the comments, I'd love it--I'd absolutely love it. --RR
1/1: farm hives home
We've been wanting to bring home the three hives which we've kept (for years) on a farm field south of town, but moving hives requires the convergence of a variety of conditions--time, energy, weather. Today everything aligned. It involved 120 miles of driving, some consistently careful lifting, and a fair amount of mud, but the hives now reside on our ridge. It's a sunny day, so they're flying around and learning their new surroundings.
I'm really scared of bees, but beekeeping is interesting to me (odd I know). I'm glad all your hives are close to home now!
ReplyDeleteToday's good thing for me would have to be starting the new year off right by eating breakfast. That probably sounds very simple and a little strange, but it's very important to me, as I've had eating issues in the past and hope to completely overcome them this year. :D
Bringing bees home...has a nice ring to it and a great way to great the new year.
ReplyDeleteThe first day of 2009 for me included sitting in a circle of friends and sharing stories and conversation. It began with a potluck and lasted all afternoon. I have wonderful friendships!
