I took a video of the bees. And posted it to Google. We feel l...

http://oregonfarmer.blogspot.com/2011/05/socialization-across-species-brief.html
Dedicated to treating the earth with care, a little pie for breakfast and that other thing. Friday, May 27. Perhaps the bee paused among the Dome's 200 year old Oregon white oaks, just a little north of the orchard. There were plenty of flowers that would welcome a bee under these giants. The blackberries were not blooming yet but there were usually some wild flowers there in the spring. Yea, I could see my bee buddy stopping in there to see what was happening. Oh, there goes another one.

Dedicated to treating the earth with care, a little pie for breakfast and that other thing. Thursday, September 23. Putting aside Food in 2010 (pt 1 of 2). It has been a few years since we started, oh say maybe 35, but sometimes it feels like we are still beginning to understand how to put food by and how to have enough fresh food for year around meals from the garden. So this post is to remind us what we did in 2010. Time to make a list, perhaps in no particular order but organized by food family. Blueb...
