Honey, fresh fruit and excited teens

Today was a busy one.

My son had his "Move into High School" day at his new school, he got to load his locker up with his supplies and see his home room as well as where his classes will be this semester.  I am happy to see how excited he is to get back to school as he is not usually one who cares much for it.  He takes after me, doesn't really like school but goes because he has too.  So its encouraging to see him smile and want to take part in this first step before classes begin.

Last night we had a visit from our local neighbourhood bear and he was thoroughly enjoying the plums off of our tree in the backyard, to keep him from demolishing the tree and keep the conservation officers away we headed out to pick the tree clean, knowing full well our friendly (when hiding behind walls and windows) fruit eating fuzzy com padre will be back tonight if we don't.  I was pretty happy to see we actually had some plums this year as the last couple have been bad years, leaves were worm eaten and plums looked pretty sad.

Guess now I've got my work cut out for me trying to see what all I can make with them.

While out front waiting for my daughter to jump in the car for soccer practice I noticed this fellow working his little heart out...makes me wish to have my own backyard beehives...oh that's a dream for another day.
