So I realized the other day that it was rather selfish of me to rave about our velvet spice cake recipe and then fail, yes fail, to post the actual recipe. A perfectly respectable answer, no? THANK GOD FOR GOOP, it is my new best friend. Hence the long, finger-sized streak around my knee region. And those big purple streaks? Um, well, first of all, in my defense, remember that I forgot that it was oil based paint (very difficult to remove) and second of all, I didn't have a rag handy so when I had an itch on my nose I had to wipe the paint off my fingers somewhere before giving the schnoz a good scratch. They send little bits of paint flying in all directions, which accounts for most of the splatters on my knee. I'm using a roller to spread the paint onto the boxes. Picture this: I'm sitting on the bottom step in the walkway, wearing shorts (Yes! It was warm enough to wear shorts!) and the bee boxes are propped up in front of me on crates (At knee level). And fortunately, there is a perfectly reasonable answer. So, it would be perfectly reasonable to question why I ended up with so much purple paint on my knees and legs after my bee box painting session a couple of days ago. Ok, off to unload the last of the furniture. Tonight Megan and Eric will be coming over as well and we'll get to see a slideshow of their trip. We are enjoying the company of Greg and Katherine for the next couple weeks they made it home safely from their grand Asian adventure and they're recuperating a bit in Seattle (and seeing friends and family) before heading up to Alaska. I promise that I will have a long post about the bees once we get internet to the house. We saw one queen and she appeared to be in fine form. Both hives appear to be doing well, with lots of small eggs, laying in their individual cells. It was a little cool so it was a short perusal. Discovered a family of raccoons in our old maple tree (this drives Bailey nuts) So far we have snaked a stubborn kitchen sink, torn out a toilet (and have not yet replaced it), put up a temporary fence for Bailey, and discovered two tables, two BBQs, and numerous milk jugs and flower pots hidden under a bed of ivy in what was once an old green house. Owning an old house is proving to be interesting.
