Finally I got a chance to change from my winter very warm wool felted just in case I get caught in a storm purse that I could use as a hat….to the summer one…I have not seen a bee yet but I need to carry my epi pens during the summer. I am not much of a purse person and would rather have my pocket book in my pocket…but the size of those epi pens makes that impossible.
There are not as many bees around anymore.
I have had this wreath next to the front door for years. I decorate it with the seasons. I found these bee decorations at a garage sale…for $1.25 I have a whole new look. I may have to look for a few more bees…
Last year I scored a new loon flag for a dollar.
Bargains always make me happy.
We finally heard the Loons down on the lake this week. They are very late this year.
Be happy. I got a hardly used juicer on Craigs list for only......:)
ReplyDeleteI like your bee wreath decorations. How about a yellow and black polka dot bow to finish it off?
ReplyDeleteI noticed the first bees here yesterday so you should see them soon.
We've got bees in our garden, I saw them all around the strawberry blossoms. Those berries are getting big now, and I'm excited to have my FIRST strawberries out of my own garden. I love that flag. Wish we had loons around here but I guess they are not salt water birds. :-)
ReplyDeleteI have seen them at White Rock beach, which isn't all that far from you:)
DeleteSweet wreath, love to hear the Loon call, makes me happy as does a bargain, Francine.
ReplyDeleteMy two Nanking cherries are in full bloom so I have lots of bees right now. We are having excellent weather so you will get it in a day or two.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely flag or just a dollar!

Mr. Dreamy doesn't understand outside decor! I love your bees… and bargains are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteLoons remind me of summers at camp in Canada. I love the eerie calls.
Great bargain finds! I'm always on the hunt for bargains.
ReplyDeleteThe bees have been very active here. Last week they were swirling around cars stopped at a light. I quickly rolled up my windows. The last thing I want is a bee in the car that can't find the way out!
We have some bees but not as many as years past.
ReplyDeleteYour decorations are lovely.
I'm lucky if I get things done. Decorating is on the back burner.
When you mentioned that you don't like to carry a purse, Far Side, I thought immediately of my own daughter. However, I would not recommend carrying an epi pen around where she keeps her cash and driver's license...
ReplyDeleteWe know quite a few bee keepers, and believe me, the subject of "not as many bees around anymore" is a big topic of conversation in our rural areas here. You can see those white boxes around everywhere in the fields, particularly in orchards, but I also know there is a lot of research going on, trying to figure out what is making the hives collapse, and the bees less prevalent--or at least less effective. It usually centers on how our modern conveniences are somehow impinging on bee survival. Sometimes, I don't know who to believe...
:-)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your finds. Have a wonderful weekend!
I love the bees on the wreath and the flag is great. It has been very hot and dry here but rain is expected this weekend.
ReplyDeleteHope FG is feeling better.
I do think it's interesting that you have a severe bee sting allergy, but you enjoy decorating with bees. Love your enemy.
ReplyDeleteLove the sound of the loons!
ReplyDeleteAs you know, I'm with you on the bargain hunting:)
Ah! Loons!
ReplyDeleteGreat bargains, Connie. :)
Everything is really late here this year also. In fact we have geese that decided to stay and not leave it's been so cold.

I miss seeing and hearing the loons. Your banner is a winner.
ReplyDeleteGood for you but sad for the bees. I've taken to a "wristlet" which holds my cards, checkbook, chapstick and pen. It would work for your epis yet it leaves your hands free. Your wreath is darling. I think I'll try that as I've been wondering what to put out on my door and the "bargains" make it even sweeter!
