My husband and I have long been putting "remove the dead rhodie" on our weekend to-do list, but for some reason we've just never gotten around to it. This morning I looked out the window and saw among the dead branches, a single bloom. Odd because I thought the evergreen was long gone, and becaus...

  Every day I leave my drive way and pass by this bee hive which I am scared to get too close to (photo taken from within the car, 'cause I'm a baby and refused to lower my window) and my husband has all but forgotten exists. It's rather far from the house, so I guess I don't need to worry too m...
