Our Vitex bushes are in full bloom and the flying critters love them and wee enjoy watching. Bees and butterflies (tried to get a few in a picture but they didn't come out).
There are regular honey bees of course but we also love the large bees that frequent the flowers.
This is a carpenter bee...
And this is a bumblebee. Love the fuzzy nature of these bumblebees. They look like stuffed animals, ha!
Hope you are having a good weekend. It's rainy on and off again. More on that tomorrow.
Yesterday, 2nd Man made some white bread...
...and this morning we had some as toast. It's always so good, crispy and toasty on the outside and still soft inside. Toast with a little butter is so good.
It's almost a comfort food.
As we post this, it's starting to rain again. Sigh.
My bushes are beginning to bloom as well.
ReplyDeleteMaking homemade bread makes the whole place to smell absolutely divine. Toasted, homemade bread with homemade jam............Yummy.
I think I could almost eat a whole loaf, toasted, but my hips wouldn't like it so much.
Have a wonderful evening and enjoy the races
LOL we totally hear ya on the bread thing. It's divine from the smell to the taste.
DeleteWe have not seen bees lately so we are thrilled to see them buzzing all ove!r the lavender this year!
ReplyDelete"J" from 2nd Family told us to come down the other day and "listen" to her bee tree. There is a tree with flower blooms of some sort and you stand under it and it's literally humming. So awesome.
DeleteYour right the bumblebees look like little stuffed animals! Too cute!
ReplyDeleteDon't they? Little fuzzy stuff animals. I"m sure someone makes a stuffed bumblebee plush toy, ha.
DeleteBeautiful pictures of the Vitex and bees. With all those blossoms, they are in nectar paradise.
ReplyDeleteMmm, that homemade bread looks wonderful. A delicious comfort food, for sure.
We caught a break from the rain today. I’ve been recording the amounts of rain since all the rain started 3 weeks ago and I got 15.75 inches total. Lotta water!
Wow you are about like us at the farm, probably even farther ahead in rainfall. Yep the bees and butterflies are loving it.
DeleteThere are lots of bees around the few flowers on the porch. I could eat buttered toast for dessert.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it so good? I am a toast fanatic. ha. It's good with just about anything on it, sweet or savory ha .
