We have had some false starts this week! It began with a swarm box that was full of honeybees. Thought we had captured a new colony, so we brought it down, opened it up, and found out there were only a few inside. A colony had just discovered the bit of honey I had left in there and were robbing it.
Then we got busy with painting seven doors and the trim around them. Installed them and decided it was the wrong color. Back to square one. Naomi had a special trip to Isle Royale planned for this week and that fell through, but she still has the vacation days, so I guess they will be for painting. What a bummer!
We did get to have a lovely dinner at our friend's cabin on the lake. Amélie was in heaven. Dog and swimming. She gets to bake something for them this week! Made some progress on the chicken coop and finally got the tree chairs hung up. Got the trailer up to speed apart from the lighting. New decking turned out well. Kicking off another heat wave here. So glad we have AC!
