Small Miracles

I will never comprehend how the small, fragile wings of a bee can lift its substantial body and dangling legs so easily into the air or sustain countless flights over the course of a day.

Almost all the blackberry blossoms behind our backyard fence have been visited by a wide range of bees, and the berries are starting to swell. I hope they'll be ready for us to pick when we return on August 11 from a vacation like none we've ever taken before... stay tuned! 

(I'm also hoping that I'll catch up with your journals during that time...)
