Bee Hive Update People!

 So the landscaper guys around my house decided it was time to trim all the bushes and things. This is great news, because not only will the place look better, but it opened up a clear view to the bee hive I have been talking about in posts of the past!
Good thing those landscapers wear full body gear when doing their work . haha!
 I decided to brave getting within 3 feet of the hive itself to get this picture. You can clearly see the bee hive structure. As well as the honey comb shape those bees are so good at making! We all know how precious our world is and how much of a role Bees play in keeping all the fancy plants in it alive. So let us hope this hive does not die!
 I then got just a tad closer for a better shot of the whole thing It is pretty darn big. Probably weighs like 15 LBS or more I would guess if it is not hollow.But it is crazy how  I wanted to make my own bee hive and then this springs up. Just keep praying that the home owners don't decide to kill it.
 I have not heard of any talk or even mention of this bee hive outside my own family, so maybe its just in a really good out of the way spot . Lets hope it stays that way and the Home owners association does not act dumb and opt to have it removed.
Then to make your day even better, another picture of ducks! These were at the marina near my house. So funny watching them swim!
KK! Thanks for reading guys! come back soon !

Depression can be beat by ducks!














So today I go to school and its just a normal overcast June 28th day in California. You know, it's supposed to always be surfing weather, nice warm and you can wear sandals all year round? Well... that is all a load or horse pucky! Today it was raining! raining in late June almost July! Crazy sauce. But that does not stop my normal activities , though I did need to go back home to get a jacket because it was cold!

Alas school was not cancelled due to rain, much to my dismay. However I did still manage to eat a healthy summer time type lunch! Had a whole carton of blueberries, and Gala apple a Haas avocado, and a plumb... not sure the brand. But it was tasty!

Must say, the best part of the rain in this strange time of the year was getting to see the ducks! They were loving it! I was just sitting under the overhand eating my lunch when this flock of ducks come marching up. I'm a little surprised at first at their number but just sit back and watch them.
 I did not get a picture of it, but one of the ducks found a snail that was escaping the rain and ate it out of its shell. It was a funny sight. I had no idea that ducks ate snails. Maybe I should get one for my garden. It would eat all those pesky slimy creepy crawly things. haha.
They soon grew tired of me staring at them and waddled off. That was one of the more interesting things that happened to me today. Ducks are funny. I could sit at a pond for hours simply watching them do their thing . Though it would be fun to have a loaf of bread or crackers with me.

OK everybody ! Come back soon, I'll have another one of my exciting adventures for you!
