 And, my first attempt at bringing mason bees into the garden. It wasn't near as complicated as I thought. I put the cocoons out three days ago and was thrilled to see bees today. My shelter is a bit primitive and the whole tower is crooked but I am happy with it at the moment.

Wasn't it a fantastic weekend? I gardened both days and got so much done. Your photos are beautiful.

You have so much more going on in your garden already Phillip but my peonies are at about the same stage. They are creeping out into the world. The anticipation is invigorating. I want to get out there and start pulling weeds. ... What did I just type??? ha... Love your bee/bug hive. The next thing we know you will have a bee hive and be selling honey.

You capture a perfect moment perfectly!

Hooray for the mason bee condo. They will be thanking you for years to come.
