What's everyone doing today?

[Beekissed]

Back out working on the hoopty coopty, mounting a door, maybe get to placing the plastic cap.

Also dumped the dog's house and stored it...from now on he isn't allowed to have a nice, cozy hole to retreat to...he will be living with the chickens full time in a couple of weeks, so I'm getting him used to it now.

Saw a grey fox come down the hill right behind his dog house yesterday, broad daylight...while the dog snoozed away in his sweet digs. No house, no snooze, no missing the opportunity to kill a pred.

Might get him a GP/Anatolian partner, God willing, to share the job..hard for one dog to stay awake all the time, ya know?

So far... breakfast, shovelling some recent (and heavy) snow. Plan to check out a potential malfunction of our water heater.

I need a break. I've been on my off time for 4 hours now and will remain off for a week. Well 2 of my hives swarmed. DH and I worked on catching one of them. He climbed the tree. I attempted to put them in a box when the branch came down. At first I think I was doing fine. Even think I had the queen for a while. But they started balling up again on the trunk. DH gave me a box to sweep them into and unfortunately I had put on his garden gloves because my latex were ripped. Well I got stung at least 7 times on the right hand and 6 times on the left and once on the right knee and once on my back. First time attacked this season. I'd have probably been fine if it wasn't for the gloves. Hurt at first, but I'm fine now and hoping the stings will make me feel GREAT by tomorrow. Glad for the sting on the right knee cuz my bad foot is attached to that leg.
Well, I'm leaving them alone. The hive body is there if they want it. I'm letting them move in if they interested. Its not like I don't get enough honey already. Just wanted all my equipment to be in use.

Not a lot. We were in a parade with our cub scouts this morning. It was fun. I was the driver pulling the decorated trailer with the scouts riding and throwing out bubble gum. Then this afternoon has been lazy.
