My counter looks nothing like that! Yours is pretty, mine is.......... well used. :lol:
Thank you...lol
You should have seen it before we remodeled the kitchen. It's where we had my desk and computer and it was cluttered all of the time. Now I use one of the kids rooms for my office and crafting space and the mess is hidden...lol My craft/sewing table was part of our old laminate counter tops hubs built when we built our house. It's all well used. ๐Ÿ™‚

My counter is vintage 1970 peeling formica...
:D =D

Good morning! It was a crisp 25ยฐ at 7:30am, so we probably were a little lower than that overnight. A two pullet egg and crumbled feta omelette later I'm chilling with my coffee while Caleb chills on the floor.

This one's for you @drstratton -- the wild mustard flowers aren't even starting to open and the bees are shopping!
Not a great pic. There were a LOT of them, decided to move the sheep out of that area didn't want to PO any of the bees and have a "present" to go back with.

Love this, thank you! They are so industrious.๐Ÿ’ž I've learned more about the term, "busy as a bee", than I ever understood before. I've also decided that I will never fully fit that term... :gig

The only time they would get ticked is if they felt like you were attacking their hive or stepping on them...lol I've walked right through the middle of them while they're on our flowers, they just move to a different flower. They weren't at all concerned about my being there.

Ha - in my case, accidentally stepped on. 23-30 sheep (92-120 feet) 2 dogs (8 ft) and me (2 ft) -- at least 102 feet LOL odds not in my favor! ;)

Yeah and it probably wouldn't be good for one of your sheep to bite off more than they can chew...bzzzz!
