Momentary Lapse of Reason and Bees

Ok, so I was going to quit this blog and even posted about it (which I've deleted). I thought it would make me feel like one less thing to cross off my list, but the fact is I really like this little space.  It made me feel sad and empty - not the relieved feeling I was going for at all.  So, what does one do when they feel like their "to do" list is unattainable? I guess I should just prioritize and stop putting pressure on myself, which is self induced anyway.  Type A personality here. Does anyone else do this to themselves? I'm blaming this on hormones, cold weather, and a third thing, which I can't come up with at the moment.

So moving on....

Last night, we got the most exciting news.  Our local beekeepers association has a scholarship program.  My son applied and was chosen.  What does this mean? We will be taking 6 sessions on beekeeping and then given two hives of our very own along with a mentor for two years to assist us in establishing our hive.  I've always wanted bees!  

The average beekeeper is 60 years of age.  The association wants to bring in a younger crowd so the art of beekeeping doesn't become a lost art. Last Christmas I was given this lovely book my a friend.  I've read it, but now I'm going to read it again with a different perspective.

This is so good on so many levels.  We can attend classes as a family. I can add this to next year's curriculum as part of our Science studies. Oh, and we get to keep bees!
