I had a list of things I wanted to accomplish today, and I was delighted that I had a good amount of energy and was motivated to complete all of them, plus more!
Floors: I bought a new floor steamer and finally got a chance to use it on our brand new kitchen floors. They were clean for all of 5 minutes, but still, they were a great and beautiful 5 minutes (that's what I get for living with cats and chickens and a gardening husband). Check ✅
Litter Boxes: I try to clean these regularly, especially before I have people over to the house. Check ✅
Trash: Thursday mornings are trash and recycling day, so I lugged it all out to the curb Check ✅
Bees: I sadly had not checked on the bees in about 2 weeks, so I hard core needed to get this done. I suited it up and went through both hives. Check ✅ Yellow hive: doing well. LOTS of eggs and lots of capped honey, ready for a second box. Did not see the queen, but eggs are a good sign of the queen being active and healthy. Blue box: also doing well with lots of eggs and capped honey. Slightly worried because we saw evidence of queen cells (all of which I destroyed). Queens cells are a sign that the hive was starting to outgrow its space; the bees prepare to leave the hive by making a new queen and leaving with her once she is grown. We hurriedly put on their second box and I hope that they build into that space instead of making a new queen and flying away!
And I also had time to hang out with the baby chickens while they continue to integrate into their coop, and I finished and printed several songs for band practice (Animaniacs Theme Song, Sparring with Neighbors from My Time at Portia, and a mix of Ghost Fight and Dummy from Undertale). I also organized all the music binders and made sure everyone had their music. And we had a delightful rehearsal. Check ✅
With delight,
Jamie
