need to blog

Becky and I were talking about journaling last night...helps clear the mind, I think. Blogging is akin to journaling, which I save for all the crazy thoughts that one shouldn't make public :)

I think I need to start taking more days like yesterday- I ran off with the kids because of my lack of babysitter (thank frickin Goodness). We did our customary "explorer day". On our way to Snoqualmie Falls, we stopped at Lake Tyee & an AWESOME BBQ place that I will ABSOLUTELY revisit. It was a really fun day. Of course Lance decided to loose it (tired) when we got home, in order to bring me back to reality. It was fun while it lasted, though :) I even got to see Beckers last night. She is doing way too awesome, which is setting the bar really high for the rest of us when we encounter a mayor illness/disease/yuckiness/whatev. Everyone is gunna be like "we KNOW your finger hurts, Rachel- STOP WHINING, geez, Becky - I don't remember you whining this much when you had CANCER" See? It's going to make us look bad. :)

RUNNING LOG

4 mi- niiiiiice pace-

Sometimes you just need to get DiRty...

Well...I had a lot of plans today...and they all got thrown out the door because it was 60F and SUNNY outside today. Mother Nature was calling to me. We went on a nice walk with Papa, and then I gardened until the sun came down. Now all my garden needs is plants :)...That dose of Vitamin D was exactly what I needed...and the DIRT was amazing, hehe...I love the smell of dirt on your hands...

My favorite youngest student

This is Savannah....she's my youngest beekeeping student yet...and by far the BEST (the best youngest...I make no claims to have a single favorite student...I like them all equally). She MADE me the mason bee house in the picture above....AWESOME.....

why I've been slacking on the blog....

ya know guys....I don't know how to blog what's going on with me lately...there are no pictures to go with this...

I fell in love with this boy you all like, named Chet... and I've been spending almost every non-child, bee store moment -thinking about him :). So I apologize for all the sisterly slacking. I can't get enough of that boy...

I have been doing interesting things here and there...things that could have been blog worthy...so I will try to start this Momma back up - I would apologize for this hiatus....but I'm too happy.
