Ning gave me 2 bales of straw. Not my birthday. Great present. With temps in 80s the plants will grow rapidly. The soil will dry out rapidly, too. A good straw mulch will help.

Beekeeping. Progress Report.
Minor maintenance on beehive. Check top bars, make sure there is room for expansion of hive. Remove the empty sugar feeders.
Near the hives, a row of wild white-flowered trees. I don't know what they are.
Mild musky fragrance. There were bumblebees as well as a few honeybees on these flowers.

Frosted Fig and Potatoes
Potatoes. I think they will grow back.
Frosted fig. Petite negri.
Frosted fig. Sal's fig.
On Tues night it frosted at the Battleground place. The only damage I saw was to fig leaves, potato leaves, and some damage to new mulberry growth. Disappointing but it could have been worse.

Happiness. Robert Green Ingersoll
Happiness is the only good.
The time to be happy is now.
The place to be happy is here.
The way to be happy is to make others so.
-Robert Green Ingersoll
