Buzzing with Excitement ~ Second Year Beekeeping

March 4, 2015 by Kristen

Things sure have changed since my last visit to Ruhl Bee Supply. Last year around this time I was nervously following The Renaissance Man into this huge warehouse building full of honeybee supplies. I had no idea what I was doing and was convinced we were getting in way over our heads with this whole “Beekeeping Thing.”

I’m happy to report that this year I felt like a seasoned pro! We must have spent two hours perusing the store and slowly filling our carts with new honeybee equipment. Just look at all of those supplies.

The Pears are Budding!

March 1, 2015 by Kristen

It sure is hard to believe that we’ve had such a mild winter. I just kept thinking that we’d get a hard freeze or some snow…

But to be honest, I’m ok with sunshine. The warm sun feels like a happy hug on my skin, and even our pear trees are starting to feel the love! The espaliers that we planted last summer are beginning to bud, and I’m sure we’ll have full on blooms within the week!

#WineWednesday ~ Exploring White Rose

February 18, 2015 by Kristen

Happy #WineWednesday! I took these photos back in November over the Wine Country Thanksgiving Weekend and wanted to share them with you. Exploring White Rose Estate was such a cool experience, it’s unlike any other tasting room in the Dundee Hills AVA.

Celebrating Cupid!

February 14, 2015 by Kristen

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Valentine_Balloons

Have you purchased your flowers, roses, and chocolates for your loved ones? It’s important on this day, and every other day that you spread love among family and friends.

Valentine_Roses

When I was a single lady…way back in college, I will tell you my favorite gifts came from my girlfriends. We’d pretend like we were in grade school again and everyone would send cards to one another. So I encourage you all to think about the people you care most about in life, and perhaps you pick up the phone or send a note to wish them a Happy Valentine’s Day.

XOXO,

Kristen
