I just heard about in on the national radio news,,, the winds are fearsome and the fire went from about 50 to several thousand acres almost overnight... you are all in my thoughts, I hope you get rain soon!

I've been kept up-to-date from my cousin who lives near Denver. She was out somewhere in her car when the "golf balls" started falling, and the car didn't fair very well. She posted some amazing pictures on her Facebook page. She's watching the fires as well.

Here I was sad when we had a little hail here and I lost a few spinach leaves... I'm guessing folk out there lost whole gardens in that storm (as well as cars and sky-lights). Hope the fires stay far from you and those you love!

Omg, good luck Rooster.

It has been bee stuff for me all weekend...The Queen(in my avatar) in my strongest hive has gone missing and the hive didn't swarm... This means somehow she has met her demise in the hive... Sad

No signs of any recent queen activity when I was able to open the hive today... first time in almost 3 weeks. There were 5 queen cells, so I divided the hive... fingers crossed that we get two new queens. Very Happy

I didn't get much gardening done this weekend... Shocked

**RoOsTeR** 6/10/2012, 7:56 pm

Good luck with the new queen hopefuls camp!

cheyannarach 6/10/2012, 9:47 pm

Camprn, that's pretty crazy stuff! Good luck with the new queens, I am terrified of bees, lol!

**RoOsTeR** 6/11/2012, 7:45 am

I got another skunk last night right in the barn. Just when the stench from the last one started to fade...

Fire is up over 20,000 acres. Zero containment Evil or Very Mad

Don't know where you are in relation to the fire but stay safe Rooster.

I wish someone else would make supper. Shocked

Sadly, I live alone.

You are not alone. I'm all by myself, too. I do have a daughter four miles away, but sometimes I don't even feel like driving four miles for a swim on a hot day.

**RoOsTeR** 6/15/2012, 9:45 pm

Lol, I DON'T live alone and wish someone WOULD make supper Razz

LOL, I ended up with braised pork chops with sauteed apple slices and spring peas... at 9:15....European dining time. Very Happy

I'm fed and happy, but now I wish someone would bring ice cream... Shocked

Man that sounds good. You make some good grubbins for yourself.

Boy Rooster a stinky skunk and a raging fire! You having enough fun!

Campryn good luck on the queens, I know nothing about raising bees!

Hey, Rooster, ever heard of DIY? My late DH used to say, when I arrived home, "I'm starving". To which I would reply, "Can you open the fridge door?" It was a standing joke between us. Very Happy

My Mum used to say

" If wished were horses then beggars would ride , get off your arse and do it yourself "

Wonderful wisdom.. I've never gone hungry Laughing

My daughter has a saying --"If you want something done, then do it" She has done many things that others would consider "man's work", despite the fact that she has a husband.

Goosegirl 6/16/2012, 9:34 pm

The saying around our house when I was a kid was "Is your arm broke?" We all became self-sufficient at a relatively early age!

How sad, the fire has destroyed at least 180 homes so far Evil or Very Mad

It's been fairly breezy here the last few days so most of the smoke has cleared out of this area.

Hope to take the boys fishing today!!

Goosegirl 6/17/2012, 11:00 am

Have fun fishing with the boys and be careful!

My best laugh of the day so far:

There is a local auction house that has a couple online auctions every month. I was quite pleased to bid on, and win, a Crimson Queen Japanese Maple tree. I hooked up my cargo trailer because I didn't think it would fit in either of my trucks easily without damaging it. On the way to pick it up, I was worried about whether my buddy and I could pick it up to load it. Fortunately, there were employees at the store to help with loading. When I got home, I just had to take a couple pictures to show everyone.
