I took the photo of the bees on the flowers back in August of last year shortly after school started. It is interesting going over these photos when the new spring flowers have not yet arrived. Many of the neighbors are turning over the soil to prepare for this years crop.

The grandmothers... they were so cute and tiny. When I took this photo Natasha said she felt like a giant!
