A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
There is no such thing as a "self-made" man. We are made up of thousands of others. Everyone who has ever done a kind deed for us, or spoken one word of encouragement to us, has entered into the make-up of our character and of our thoughts.
-George Matthew Adams, newspaper columnist (23 Aug 1878-1962)

I have a colony of bees in a hollow space in the ground in my back garden. Common European honey bees. I also have Teddy Bear and bumble bees both are more solitary. Lots of wasps this year. Honey bees are good pollinators and the only issue is I can't water the plant in the spot for fear of washing them out. They swarmed yesterday morning about 9:30 - I happened to be walk past the back doors and heard them. In about 15 minutes they were quietly grouped in a (US) football shaped clump on a pine tree limb (they had done this a previous year.) I checked in the evening- still there. They must have left at dawn- no sign of them this morning. BEE on their way safely!

There is a fountain of youth: it is your mind, your talents, the creativity you bring to your life and the lives of the people you love. When you learn to tap this source, you will have truly defeated age.
