Catching up... again

-

Many things have happened since 2023. 


My mom is doing fine, everyday she is just so happy to be here. The landscape seems to be a real source of beauty and joy to her. From exclaiming during car rides ('wheeeee") to telling me how many shades of green sees in all the trees... oh, and she loves telling people that she can see Arkansas from her house! LOL! But she misses my dad tremendously. Caring for an 88 YO who is basically healthy, but has given up is trying to say the least. 


We constructed a new observatory building, bought and assembled the dome for the building. Unfortunately, along with the problems the build brought due to Bryan's diagnosis in 2022, the Shutter lift system just doesn't work. We have tried and tried to work with the system that came with the dome, but it is shit. I will blog on that more in depth.



And of course, I have bees. Lots and lots of bees. It is within this world, where I HAVE to be calm, I HAVE to move slowly that I get solace. And have I ever mentioned the smell of a healthy hive? It is like nothing else.. and so wonderful.

OPINION!!! 8 red Flags... bells clanging: Buyer beware...

If you don't know me, ask anyone. I am as honest as the day is long. My honesty is something that has actually hurt my career: I was not "correct" enough to "gain favor." I call 'em as I see 'em. So, this is the story of my family's experience with a local company and my opinion of their customer service. This has been a tough year for my husband and I. We had been taking care of his mother for about 18 months when she passed away. My mother in law and I have had an always touchy relationship and she had a really hard life. We were happy and blessed to have been able to take care of her when she needed it. She never wanted to "sell or rent" her house after she moved in with us. So, there it sat, empty. She paid the higher insurance rates, and we moved the majority of her things here to my home.  After she passed away, we knew that we needed to liquidate the majority of her belongings. My husband did not have the appetite to go through h...

A touchy subject...

I've been marketing and marketing and marketing. Not really actively yet, but thinking, brainstorming and such. Trying to get the creative juices flowing and bouncing ideas off my silent partner, my hubby. He and I always come back to the idea that good enough is good enough for most people. They wouldn't want to pay for a CERTIFIED professional photographer to come and deliver HIGH END images of what ever they need. What I see is a need to educate. Educate our clients and end users on why we demand the prices we do. I hear from so many clients: "Ohhh, that's a little pricey...I'll just get my Aunt Edna to shoot the photos for me. She's got the exact same camera as you!" At this point I realize that I will not be getting the gig and that they will be happy with "good enough". So many of my colleagues say that we should not criticize other photographers (non-professionals) work. Why not? As professionals - or people who aspire to be - shouldn'...

Get bees... it'll be easy... it'll be cheap... The real costs...

Get bees... ... you can capture a swarm, but that needs drawn comb... so unless you already have bees... no. Today's cost? $225.00 - 300.00 for a NUC of bees. Basically a starter colony. 5 frames, drawn and filled with resources or brood. (I paid 175.00 back in 2020. I got a NUC bursting with bees. In fact, this new-beekeeper didn't know better and they swarmed within a month, even though they were in a bigger box and had plenty of room. If they want to swarm... they swarm.) The good part? If you establish a bee yard, that in itself is a swarm lure... I have captured many swarms in the trees just south of my bee yard...  You have a 10 frame deep box to house them in... great. But they will need 2-3x that before the end of summer. So, that is 20 more waxed frames, and 2 more (deep or medium or shallow) boxes (how ever you wish to extract honey from)... ~$100.00 for the boxes, 2.00 per frame. Approximately 240.00.  Sugar to feed a new colony. You have to feed them so they will d...
