* The bees are all tucked in and the snow is with us--what a beautiful wonderland we live in. Today I am getting out of my shop where I have been making Christmas presents and out to the cabin. It was 18 degrees early this morning before I started a fire, by noon it was 76. As you can see from the pictures, it has been a rough day. All of that writing, reading, and looking out the window is really "hard work".
** Planning for the Spring UP Bee Conference continues. A bit more is added to the website as it becomes available--upbeekeepingconference.weebly.com. It is looking like a really nice event is shaping up---mark your calendar Sat. March 31st, 2018.
***Now is a good time to put together some bee reading material for the coming months. A good start and a nice gift to yourself or other beekeepers is either or both of the major bee magazines--"The American Bee Journal" or "Bee Culture". Both of these have great articles and have info on new/old books that are available.
**** For those of you that have seen my video "Why I am a Beekeeper", I am attempting to get some of the pictures I used changed then I can put it in the public domain. I never realized the difficulties of traversing that whole issue. I need to be less technically challenged.
NON BEE PROJECTS
It might not look like it, but I really am involved in non bee endeavors. I am currently working on a couple of projects that I hope to have done by March.
1. The script has been written and I am now putting together pictures for a historical video called the "Born Cabin". It is a 1870's log cabin on this property that we have/are restoring. I have researched the history and hope I have done the old cabin justice. For the story--stay tuned.
2. On one melancholy night, I wrote a poem/thingy called "Am I Old?". Maybe just one to many aches that night. A talented musical friend has written music to accompany the reading. She will play it on a 12 string guitar. and my son-in-law will record it. Again, stay tuned.
From all of us here in the Far North Country--Have a wonderful Holiday Season.

All tucked in. Not the usual amount of snow.
Early morning light at the writing cabin.
Reading by the fire.
Staring out the window.
Writing at my "desk".
