Fall is really a beautiful season in Pennsylvania.
Oh, honey, is it ever!
Especially near the lake!
I always picture Mother Nature flying over the land,
tapping plants and trees with her wand.
Here's an interesting comparison of the Clark School tree,
from 2022 to 2023 at nearly the same time.

We went through the seed chapter Thursday
in my Master Gardner class.
I still don't know what to do with these things.
That's probably because I got a 20% on the pretest.
I read the chapter,
went through the webinar,
then retook the test.
I got a 50%.
It is hard!
But I enjoy it.
I have a lot to learn about the plants I love!
This is what a Master Gardner webinar looks like.
It's not exactly a wild night out.
To liven up Thursdays,
I've been working on this needle point while I listen.
I love the honey colored petals on this sunflower.
It was sunny out midweek
and I made my gang stay outside as long as possible.
Especially the patient.
Slam #51 has been as cockeyed as his sign.
I was fooled into thinking his mono was mild.
I learned this week that mono has three phases,
and he spent most of this week in the acute phase on the couch.
Oh, the mono throat!
Oh, my poor honey!
I tried to get Sam to take a honey concoction I made
since antibiotics don't work for mono.
You would have thought I was killing him.
The gagging.
The complaining.
The loud, thick-throated protests.
Oh, honey, my @$$!
He's STUBBORN.
Some things never change.
One guy who watches for sameness and for change is this guy:
The Angry Bee Keeper.
I love this guy.
Erieites,
he's from the Niagara Region of Canada,
so not too far from us.
He's getting lots of attention lately
because of his weather predictions about
this upcoming winter.
Who is the Angry Bee Keeper?
This is how he describes himself in his Tik Tok bio.
My name is Lee Moore. I'm a beekeeper certified by the wind and the rain. I reside in southern Ontario Canada with my wife, daughters and cousins by the dozens.
If you are interested in his comparisons of this fall,
to the fall of 2016,
which El Nino was in play--
check out how his bees behaved:

Here's another one about the golden rod flow
I like this gal from Texas, too.
Here is a Today Show clip of her life with the bees.
She's best known for scooping them with her bare hands!
With an audience of over 10 million bee lovers online, Erika Thompson is the most popular beekeeper in the world. Her revolutionary bee removal work showing how to humanely handle bees has been featured on The Joe Rogan Experience, CNN, the BBC, on The Today Show, Good Morning America, The Ellen Show and more.

I love it when things in life connect!
Look what book I happen to be listening to.
It has some heavy topics
and it comes with trigger warnings about domestic violence,
but the story that builds is so good.
It's told through a series of present day
and flashbacks.
Just like LOST
and why I loved the show so much!
This connection happened as well, this week.
I think I'm going to escape into this story tonight.
It's been a hard few days.
We lost a kitty in a hit and run Thursday night
and we are all very sad at the Lamp Post.
Someone else's story is the only thing
that can remove me from my own for awhile.
Good night, Readers.
Sleep tight---
and add a little honey to your Sleepy time tea!
