Did the beekeeping. Took a moment to soak in the fading sunshine at the end of the day and the end of the season.

Anyway, the old girl is finally seeing some sunshine today, getting a once-over on the hull, and we're okay so far.. couple of new maintenance items for the list though.

Got SUPER lucky after the storms last night at this one apiary.. branches came down fairly close to the hives.. the property host had a bunch of trees down and most of the roads getting there were closed with down trees and utility work. And we're due for more tonight.

Because there's some kind of festival in this town every weekend, today was the street art festival and it made for a great little stroll downtown. Also treated myself to a pretty thing a friend made and it's an absolutely stunning ring

My watch now tracks both physical and mental recovery and I find this absolutely hilarious. I wouldn't exactly call my mental health "optimal" most days of the week? Like, not a total dumpster fire, but far from optimal.

Stunning day of beekeeping. Also look at how beloved this new queen is! A nice, attentive court around her means they REALLY like her.

These hives are getting taller and heavier much faster than my body can adapt this year.
