Debut

Hello world.

I have been considering venturing into the blogosphere for a while now. I am not sure what pushed me over the edge, perhaps learning more about social media. It is funny because I am a bit of a Luddite and certainly an intentional late-adopter when it comes to technological advances. But I have lots of thoughts in my head and not many folks to share them with since moving to The Copper State. So now I can throw them out into the ether and see what happens.

I spent the day in the sunshine, tabling at an Earth Day Event. I am so white. My skin pinkens with the smallest dose of rays. It felt good to be out, though. The winter in Flagstaff is long and cold. Spring is a long time in coming here. Gardening can be a real challenge. We are going to give it our best shot and see what happens. I love playing in the dirt even if our bed does not yield any food.

Tomorrow I am off on a field trip to go spend some time with some bees. I love bees. They fascinate me and I want to know more about them. Fostering healthy bees seems like doing a good deed for the universe. I want to learn more about this. Although I am a honey lover (the darker the better) it is not my primary motivation. Anyone who spends time with plants knows how important pollinators are. And even beyond that, bees seem to have some kind of cosmic connection. It seems that one could never know all there is to know about bees. Hopefully I will be a little more enlightened tomorrow.

And so it begins.
