the bees and I or me and the bees

This is a picture from several weeks ago . We are at Jindabyne, in a charming paddock with a little group of adorable horses. Notice how our beeboxes are multi-coloured ( Australian spelling)--you see, Stevie believes in the WPIOS (what paint is on sale) method of hive box painting.

Reading at Tumberumba

I read- Her Fearful Symmetry-, by Audrey Niffenegger, here under a wonderful applebox tree.

after a long day's work

Goodness! Hard work is bad for the hairdo!!!

Paddy's Falls

We have been to Paddy's Creek to camp while we work the bees 3 times so far and we had gone past the sign to Paddy's Falls at least a dozen times before we drove down the mini-mountain to see them.

Tea Time

Our bee hives here on the edge of the Snowy mountains are really well. Stevie is having his morning tea. We never skip morning tea and

bickies, although I usually have coffee.

Gnome tree in Rosewood

On the way to our bees in the mountains, near Tumberumba, we passed this gnome tree in Rosewood. It is the only gnome tree I have ever seen.

Posting lots of pictures

New experience! Picking oranges, 6:00am to 10:ooam with 4 adorable dogs( Rolly was my favorite), Barb and Graham. They have an orange grove with 80,000 trees--Barb has been a sweetheart, she's the one who got me to try golf. Narrandera has oranges, rice, corn, canola, lucerne, potatoes and wheat crops all fed by the Murrumbidgee River where giant 100 pound cod swim.
