Busy Bees

The plural includes the several different types of bees I saw on the blackberry flowers this afternoon, and also Phil and me, as we cleaned the house today -- long overdue -- for our very special guests this week.

Our grandchildren are coming tomorrow and staying with us until Saturday afternoon. Z is 12, and B will be 11 in September. Z and I enjoy doing crafts, and wasting no time, will be taking a fused glass class on Monday evening. We're doing the "Tidal Wave" class you can see here.

We enjoy being at CreativiTea; here's Z at work last year painting a pottery project with one hand while checking my iPhone for a response to a text she'd sent her mother and her aunt. This year she'll be checking her own mobile phone, on which she sent Phil a special request. I'm going to ask her to teach me how to do that!
