come a little closer
I've done a little bit of a blog re-design. Nothing major, just a new banner and some new sidebar links and images featuring a few of my teensies. So... if you're reading this in bloglines, you'll need to come over and see everything!

p.s. We have bees! Yes, a swarm of them is living right under my kitchen window and so far yesterday I counted six in the house. Guess who sounded all panic stricken and "they're swarming" on the phone to bee control yesterday? My husband was laughing at me because I told the woman on the phone that "there are hundreds of bees." In hindsight, perhaps tens would have been a more accurate term.




















Aww I think bees are a delight, but I understand your panic all the same. We have wasps and they were everywhere when I was trying to enjoy the patio yesterday. I hope they are taken care of quickly so that you can enjoy your kitchen all the more!
I love the little changes. Very nice and clean!
Have a wonderful day!

My daughter really freaks around bees. It would have been more like millions if she had been the one describing.

If it makes you feel any better, I would've described the bees in the same way you did. Perhaps I'd even asked hubby to call and tell the lady I'd meant to call but I passed out when I saw bees in my house ;-)
Love the new look. Did you see your flickr link is not working?
Thanks for your email, I'll answer asap
