And I love the bees, too--it must be much warmer there. I saw my first bumblebee today---but in Arizona. Here they seem to be all black and are huge. Daughter's mastiff was very curious about them...now that he knows what they can do, hopefully he won't bother them anymore:)Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6731821301433751344.post-64782805775047885932009-04-01T15:42:00.000+01:002009-04-01T15:42:00.000+01:00dear cheryl,your photos are always stunning but i ...dear cheryl,<BR/>your photos are always stunning but i think they just keep getting better. i love coming here to visit you.how exciting to see the bees return. i had one show up the other day a big bumble. i was so happy to hear/see him. there not much here but it is getting ready to all burst forth.<BR/>love your little poem.<BR/>make sure you read the song lyrics at the top of my sidebar. one of my favourite spring songs.marmeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00622899170079254810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6731821301433751344.post-40593382368937136922009-03-31T15:23:00.000+01:002009-03-31T15:23:00.000+01:00Hi shy songbird.....I love to photograph bees and ...Hi shy songbird.....I love to photograph bees and butterflies...they always look so pretty....<BR/><BR/>I can quite understand you keeping the collection of fairy books.....I have them myself.....surely they are not just for children....but then I still have the child in me, do you??<BR/>Enjoy your beautiful books.....Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14802468583972118464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6731821301433751344.post-81980469814309839062009-03-31T15:20:00.000+01:002009-03-31T15:20:00.000+01:00Hi Morning Glories......I am so pleased with the g...Hi Morning Glories......I am so pleased with the gifts....bloggers are such very nice people....<BR/><BR/>Daydreaming, I am sure, is good for the soul.....and it can't hurt anyone, can it?Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14802468583972118464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6731821301433751344.post-37951509551792274002009-03-31T14:33:00.000+01:002009-03-31T14:33:00.000+01:00Those notelets are delightful and I smiled when I ...Those notelets are delightful and I smiled when I saw you also had Poppy seeds, with the bee as well a lovely personal present.<BR/>Your photos are lovely, I have noticed quite a few Bumble bees in the garden the last few days.<BR/>Regarding the Cicely Mary Barker verse I have a confession, I was given a copy of a collection of her work when I was a child and still have it now so when I saw a complete boxed set of her flower fairy books recently I bought it to give as a child's birthday present.

Hope the little bee manages to mend well so the little bee leg can be reattached nicely. <BR/><BR/>It looks like Spring at your Wildlife Sanctuary is well on it's way. I can think of nothing more fitting to celebrate than to do a little daydreaming.

I know those and the carder bee brought you (and me) a lot of quiet pleasure. It does look warmer there today, I hope it stays warm for you. I know how chilly last summer was. I am sure the bees would appreciate a warm summer.<BR/><BR/>After our cold rainy weekend the sun came out today and the wind laid. It would have been a nice day to do more gardening, but I was busy with errands most of the day and didn't get out til late afternoon. Did see a daffodil almost in bloom and I think my lilacs survived the frost. I am happy!<BR/><BR/>Lovely birthday presents. The best are the ones made with love. :)beckiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06400859161321357279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6731821301433751344.post-90843621381679802492009-03-31T01:53:00.000+01:002009-03-31T01:53:00.000+01:00How nice to receive a belated birthday gift.

I'm so glad you got your parcel and I'm even gladder you loved it xxx Naturally there had to be a bee theme, and the poppy seeds... well of course, I had to include them as I know how much you love your own little Poppi. Poor little bee, losing a leg. He is so delicate that I suspected that despite my best efforts, he may not have arrived intact. I cannot take credit for him though. Nicola, my eldest daughter, is an absolute whizz with Fimo and I 'commissioned' her to make it lol xxx <BR/><BR/>We are all fine thank you, but I haven't blogged for a while as a dear friend of mine has been going through a bit of a time of it and I have been a bit bogged down with that. Plus Richard and I had a weekend in Harrogate which was wonderful. I got the chance to meet up with some of my blog pals and it was lovely, plus we visited a nice bird of prey centre on Sunday. I'm just off to post my Papertake Weekly card now but I'm planning to do a big catch up this week, so I'll be back. Much love to you and I hope you and Mr P are well. xxxxxxDawny Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12835153033529696952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6731821301433751344.post-65595944050805701492009-03-30T21:36:00.000+01:002009-03-30T21:36:00.000+01:00ah the sounds and colors of spring.
