Soft Pink Hollyhocks with a Honeybee

 

I like bees' butts and I cannot lie.




This little honeybee was very still for quite some time.  Maybe it was napping among the pollen.


These lovely pink hollyhocks are part of a row from a packet of seeds promising mixed colors.


My vegetable garden hasn't been producing as well as I would like in the past couple of years.  It may be lack of pollination.  More flowers are being added where there is space.


Hopefully, this cutie and his buddies will visit frequently!

What's happening in your garden?

Friendsmas celebrations are such a wonderful way to spend an evening with girlfriends!  The plan for this year's party, besides snacks, is for each person to bring a $10 gift and we will swap.  It's nice to have a small something for everyone, though, so this is what I'm adding to the mix. Fizzy Soaking Salts!

Participating in craft challenges is just that.  A challenge!  I love how each one helps me think in different ways and pulls me out of any ruts I might be experiencing.  This one is all about sustainability.  For me that means:  Minimize purchases.  Upcycle wherever possible.  This time, I even grew something from seed!
