almost a year!

Wow! I'm a slacker.

I started a part-time job in January, freelancing for a newspaper. At first everyone seemed nice, everything seemed rather peaceful and uneventful even...but time has gone by and I am learning the intricacies of this small town and it is anything but uneventful. However, I still feel a deep loneliness here.....the house, well, it sort of feels as if I have been swallowed by it and nothing much has changed...

I so desperately want to paint the exterior but the honey bees just will not STAY AWAY. I would love to have them moved but because they have become part of the columns (or the hives have), the only thing we can do is have the pest control guy out but they keep returning!

Saturday I was up on a very tall ladder scraping paint when my husband looked up and yelled for us to go inside...yes, they were p.o.'ed...I guess the scraping upset them...And we wouldn't have even been doing that if we had known they were back!! UGH UGH UGH
