This little bird is me stepping outside each morning knowing that spring is here and I can start playing in the yard. Mr Ladybug made a nesting box for these little wrens in hopes they will call our backyard home, I will keep you posted of any new occupancy.
As tomorrow is the last day of the month I thought it a good idea to look back and assess how my goals are coming along and if there needs to be any changes. I think its really easy to get off track and then just throw in the towel sometimes. There is always time to start or restart.
As for the grocery budget we are staying right on target with our $120 per week for 4 adults. I have made my meals more simpler. My meals were not super fancy but I love trying new recipes but right now with trying to get the garden ready for spring, a business kick off, some little travel adventures with Mr Ladybug and three dogs that are in need of a less muddy yard so they can stay outside and play I need to keep things simple and easy. I forgot to mention spring cleaning and some home renovations!
I also have a confession. Last night I had a chocolate dipped ice cream cone from Dairy Queen. I had been craving one for weeks. Mr Ladybug tried to get me to stop on Monday on our way home but I told him that we could not eat one before dinner. Then I started thinking that I am a grown woman who has followed the rules, well most of them, my whole life and I could have ice cream for dinner if I wanted to. I hope this information does not make you think any less of me.
They say you should learn something new everyday so I thought I would make it easy on you and show this bee picture.
The bee at the top with the eyes on top of his head is a drone, aka boy bee. Seeing him makes us super happy because in the fall all the boy bees are tossed out of the hive because they dont really do anything in the hive and they eat alot and they girls need all the honey to keep themselves alive and to start the new batch of bees for the spring, So this means they hive is doing pretty well, The bottom bee is a female and as you can see her eyes are on the side. I am still learning to use my new camera and hope to get some much better pics of my bees. So now you know how to tell the difference in your bees.
I love taking pictures of birds as you probably already know. Mr Ladybug and I are going to start a little scrapbook of our bird adventures. We hope to have a Big Year. If you dont know what that is google it and watch the movie titled the same thing with Steve Martin.
I have a very exciting morning planned. I am headed to the library, then off to Barnes and Noble to enjoy a free drink at the cafe, then to Kohls with my $20 Kohls cash and 15% off coupon. Tomorrow I hope to have dirty hands from planting in the garden!
