I thought you'd be excited to hear that we have a small swarm of honebees in our backyard, and we offered them on freecycle for someone to raise. Melissa!

I was thinking: that'll teach me to post about loving the backyard! We live pretty far inland, with no coastal breezes---more a desert climate out here in East County. The summers get really hot. But---and it's a big but---even at its hottest, it's a pretty great climate, because it always cools down at night. No miserable hot sticky nights like our Virginia summers. We can usually get back out in the yard in the evenings, when there's some shade, and often a breeze. By 2pm yesterday I was missing my Virginia central air for sure! (Only one window-unit AC in this house, and I haven't cranked it yet. We try to make do with ceiling fans for as long as possible.)
