Got to make some spaceships out of megablocks. The newer legos are kind of lame because they are SO small and they all come in kits to make specific things now. No more piles of random sizes and colors to use your own imagination. I really still like the megablocks the best. The greatest thing the kids learn is patience as they figure out the physics of making things stay together, and with their brothers destroying their creations.
A girl came over to take pictures of my bees for her photography project. She's using black and white film and a double lens camera. She'll give me copies of my prints, but she took a few with my digital this time. We had to do a retake because her camera didn't expose the film the first time. This was my first try in the hive without my suit and stuff and I was pretty nervous. Lots of deep breathing.
I am having trouble focusing on work, but I am loving my new job and I have the best boss in the world. He took us to free sushi! I'll have to get it together soon and become more productive to pay him back.
Here's Flor and her newest addition (who eats sushi!)
Clare...not so sure about here tower of tempura. It was delicious though.
My rolls were scrumtious and I loved the tea cups.

Sarah and Flor
And there's Bob, the best boss ever! (hope he reads this...)
The wildflowers I planted on the septic mound are still doing well, except the deer have really browsed them. I've still got the poppies, cosmos and lupine but other fun things are coming up as well like gilia, nemophila and the fava beans I planted.
I've been having a really bad problem with groundhogs, but I saw a crane fly (Tipulidae) larvae in the dirt here. I've never seen the terrestrial larvae, only the aquatic so it was neat. The boys like it too, but kept saying it was an inchworm or catepillar. Not Lepidopteran I'd protest, clearly Dipteran.
