Yet "BEE-HIVING" Like I Do



Isn't this Awesome? Uncle Jack actually offered this to me. It is about a foot and a half or more tall, made by black hornets, and has been preserved from the elements for the past six years by Jack in his shed. I can't wait until we can go back to safely bring it home. I plan on restoring the leaves and putting it up in my house. What a treat!

Wow! That is quite the beehive! You are so creative and such a talented decorator. I wish I could see what you do with it.

Great hive, looks big enough for a birds' nest.
Love, Dad

Mer,
I'll be sure to post whatever I do with it, but you could always come and visit ;)

Lisa,
YES! The hive was abandoned before he placed it in the shed, six years ago. He He He! Although the kids didn't know this when they came running into the house telling me I had to come out to the barn to see the biggest hive they had ever seen. Jack says they abandon them before the rains come and turn them to mush. I couldn't believe my eyes when I first saw it. It looked just like one from Winnie the Pooh.

Dad,
Speaking of bird's nests, I did come home with one that we found on the ground at Jack's but it is much,much, smaller than the hive, very sweet and dainty.

Oh! Mer,
Thanks for the confidence in my talents,I will try to make you proud. This is a blessing and a curse.I find it too hard to focus on other things that most people think are important, like having a job and such. Instead I create ;) and spend money, never making any LOL!
