Working in the Garden
OK - as you may know, we now have some new pets.
Several new pets.
Several thousand new pets.
Just when Oscar thought that the boys were even with the girls (boys = 3 (Dad, O, Smiley), Girls = 3 (Mom, Poppy, Hazel)), we add 7 hens (girls = 10), and now somewhere between 10,000 and 50,000 bees, mostly workers (girls = 50,010).

Now it has clouds.
If you are running past our house, please don't stop to use our hive. (Oscar, that goes for you too.)
Oscar and Poppy are enjoying spring.

In fact, Mama Letty observed this evening that those two rarely fight/tease/argue/parent when in the back yard. When inside, however...
