Mama forgot to do our Saturday sizzling selfie stuff….whatever…this ought to work….
πΊπΊπΊ
And our monday spark is this:
Anyone who thinks he/she/it/they is/are too small to make a difference has never met a honeybee…
And even though it is cold here and the chilly winds are strong, mama has big black bumble bee pollenators at work on her flowering broad beans! They are so busy and make such a lovely hummmm noise….they should be called Hummmblebees!
And the eventual broad beans!!! Sometime in May/June…we hope. Thank you, little bees!
FYI:
Trump’s latest wreckage on climate change. YOUR climate change, which is happening everywhere and acknowledged by ALL countries’ researchers, including the USA, but T says there is no climate change…
Trump’s latest bullying of a United States female governor who is standing up to him, and a report on how he is not helping women’s rights in any area, along with his weekly wrecking of our democracy.
Wow, I love that artwork, Loulou!
MERCI, Lunapic, yet again.
Wonderful Selfie dear Loulou and your Mama’s broad beans sure do look very healthy – won’t be long before the first crop is ready for the tummy!!!
Hugs, Teddy
We adore them but mama’s stepson is allergic and has an Italian disease called Favismo, and they are dangerous to him. Only males get it but it comes from the mama. Chick peas, fava beans and other beans cause a reaction. And he LOVES beans.
Bees and beans are both lovely, Loulou. and I love that pic of you – very colourful and cute.
Merci, Ms Militza, and the beans are really taking off…finally. THE SUN IS OUT!!!! Tomatoes go in next.
When our weeping cherry tree is in bloom, the bees in it make so much buzzing loudness you can hear them from quite a ways! Yes, we need those bees, for pollemation amd for yummy sweet honey!
Ohm to have a cherry tree! Ceret, a little town near us, has a festival of cherries in May but we’d love to see your tree.
The bees are so important.
If you think you are too small to make a difference, you’ve never gone to bed with a flea.
HA HA that’s even BETTER!!!!! But I hope they are not on our kitties…..
Snazzy art effect there, Loulou, and π cool gardening pictures and descriptions! As for the news, yikes, very discouraging, every day.
And now we have given classified info to the editor of the ATLANTIC MAG!!!! Oops….
Yes, we always need to thank the bees, just so they don’t get too close!

Oui, a close-up bee is NOT on our agenda either. Enjoy mama’s substack and merci.
I love your art. Very true about the honeybee. Everyone makes a difference to someone. XO
That is a lovely way to put it, Ms E. EVeryone is included. So true.
It is still too cold for us to see bees, but we try to keep our eyes out for the honeybees, hoping they are making a comeback.
Mama plants bee-attracters but what they love most is sage.
