Jilda and I planned to attend a beekeeping Conference today south of Birmingham. The conference features gurus from around the county who come and talk about the various aspects of caring for honeybees.

As it turns out, Jilda didn't feel comfortable leaving Taz here so soon after her surgery. I was going to stay home as well, but she insisted.

Some of the lectures were still above my head. I have so much to learn. But one that was worth the price of admission was one on how to create a bee meadow.

Jilda and I have a few acres that are perfect for planting a bee meadow. Today, I learned how to get started. We have the tools, the resources, and today I learned which flowers to plant for our area and which ones to avoid. It was an incredible class.

Since I didn't have an opportunity to shoot a picture today, I found one from six years ago. We were at the beach at sunset.

There are few places better than the beach at sunset.
