One exciting bit of news is that I'm beekeeping again! My friend Kayla captured a beautiful swarm of bees, and we introduced them to a new home two weeks ago. They were amazingly docile. Pouring them out of a box and into the hive was a bit surreal. The mass of bees stayed together forming sort of a thick river that flowed slowly down and into the brood chamber. We have been feeding them honey water from their Maine bee cousins, and they seem to have taken to their new home just fine.
Kevin and I have been hiking up a storm recently. The crazier the terrain, the better.
Splendid views in Rocky Mountain National Park.
We stumbled upon the remnants of an old home along a trail near Heil Valley Ranch.
We did a bit of camping with Traci and Cris over Memorial Day weekend in a secluded area between Lyons and Estes Park. The odd and slightly inappropriate looking thing on the left is our new favorite camping treat, "Biscuit on a Stick". In case that isn't clear enough, here are some directions. Place biscuit dough on the end of your favorite campfire roasting stick. Be sure to secure the dough around the end of the stick. Cook over the fire - preferably in an area of indirect heat. Remove biscuit from stick, slather with butter, jam, honey, or whatever you like, and eat.
Kevin's roasting stick has two points for double the s'more fun!
Yay for camping!
