FIVE SENSE FRIDAY

TASTING-

Sometimes after the kids have gone to bed,

I like to make myself a sophisticated treat and

savor it in the silence as a reward for all the

mothering, and cleaning, and scolding I did

throughout the day... tonight I had,

a delicious creamy fruit smoothie made by my lover,

and sundried tomato & basil wheat thins,

with a slice of sharp cheddar and green olive.

(did you get the creeps when you read "lover"?

well too bad, because he is just that)

SMELLING-

DOLCE & GABBANA's

Light Blue Perfume

(thank you audry:)

FEELING-

Totally STOKED!!!

Soon we will be headed off to Europe to see the lands

of my ancestors. My chest can hardly contain the fluttering

of my beating heart! My ever so organized mother has

prepared a binder for each of us with family history, stories,

pedigrees, and pictures so we can really be invested in this

experience... our token to go on the trip is that we must fill in

an 8 Generation Pedigree Chart,

this place is a great resource...www.familysearch.org

SEEING-

BEES

I'm loving all things bee right now.

I've always loved honey bees, beehives and honey,

but lately I've felt this urge to be a beekeeper.

Bee related things are popping up everywhere, in Martha

Stewart magazine, etsy, boutique shops...

When we lived in Lehi, one day I was looking out my kitchen

window into the backyard and to my surprise there

was a big black mound resting on top of our wooden fence.

It looked so out of place, and when I went out to investigate,

I soon saw that it was a mound of buzzing bees.

Apparently the queen had wandered, and the loyal workers

had followed her and surrounded her to be the dutiful

little dears that they are.

We ended up calling a beekeeper and he so bravely

scooped up the bees into a cardboard box.

I need to figure out a way

to raise these sweet little things...

I wonder what they do during the cold winters?
