BeeHave

Spring seems to be bringing a few challenges for me.

 I have noticed that I have bees flying in and out of my stacked wood in my backyard.  I wouldn't be to bothered by I do need to use the wood and besides the bees are not paying rent!

I don't want to kill the bees.  I just want them to find a new place to live.

 I am in the process of identifying what type of bees I have.

If they are honeybees, everyone that I have talked to will come and remove them free of charge and will even toss in a jar of honey for grins.

If I have ground bees or yellow jackets, they are considered pests and I have to pay hundreds of dollars to have them removed.

So, how to you get a bee identified~ apparently you just have to take a picture of it~ the only problem is no one told the bees they had to sit still and smile for the camera because those little pesky flyers are difficult to capture on "film".

I am off to find my bee supermodel~ wish me luck because I will certainly need it!

Perception

My alarm played that same jolting song today and half coherently, I tapped into a few more minutes of snooze time, but have I been here before?

This deja vu feeling filled my perception.  I have become to comfortable in my surroundings and I have no idea when it all came to be.  I need to shake off this routine time loop and become more like my former self.

Some would say, age has slowed me down but I think that is just talk for when you don't know what to say.  I think we all want to find a place where we feel content but we shouldn't get lost in its redundancy.

I think life needs to be unrehearsed and even messy at times.  We need to exist on the cusp of spontaneity and embrace the unplanned parts of our lives because in these moments we truly breathe.

I am not sure how I will escape my fate but becoming aware is always the first step toward change...

Crashing

I finally made it back to the beach~ but it was downright freezing!

I did manage to find some adventure outside even if the temperature would not cooperate.

I rented a bike and rode through the most majestic scenes I could imagined. I hunted for rocks that glistened in the peek-a-boo sunlight light along the beach.  I wondered in and out of shops along the boardwalk  and I even played  a game of toss the football ~ in the pouring rain.

Even with all the grins and giggles, I would say that I my most treasured moments were just listening to the crescendo of sounds that waves made as they were crashed ashore...I don't know what draws me to the ocean but I always feel so calm and relaxed there and you would too~ I just know it...
