Today I had a few extra minutes. Well, I never truly have a few extra minutes. Today I decided to make free time and bake some chocolate chip cookies. I have been lazy about baking sweets to enjoy. No, I’ve really been too busy to bake. Yes, that’s it – I’ve not made time to […]
Check out the Photos page at the top of the blog and click on “An Amusing Visitor”. It’s something a little different. Enjoy!
Night before last a rapid and dangerous storm blew through Texas in the middle of the night. I am eternally grateful that there was no damage to my home or yard. It was verified that a tornado did blow through my community and the path of evidence was clear-cut. Trees down, metal mangled, fences laid […]
I quote Pearl Bailey…”The fact is that it takes more than ingredients and technique to cook a good meal. A good cook puts something of himself into the preparation – he cooks with enjoyment, anticipation, spontaneity, and he is willing to experiment”. This statement pretty much sums me up.

One of the perks of capturing swarms or removing bees from people’s yards is they might toss you a bone in the way of a few bucks or in this case a lovely bunch of fresh-cut asparagus. When I helped my bee man remove the bees from the water meter box a few days ago […]

My competition was not something to be sneezed at. Oh no-o-o they were not. It was clear that much thought and preparation went into each pot of chili and pan […]
I was craving chocolate cake. I do not know why but I was. It could be because I spotted this recipe in a magazine while I was waiting for a slow leaking tire to be repaired. I was hungry, the worst time to grocery shop or peruse recipes. Everything looks good when you’re hungry. All […]
Did you see the moon on Saturday night? It was a “Super Moon”. I’m not calling it a super moon because I thought it looked super. It was a “Super Moon” because scientists and astronomers refer to it as “Super” due to its being closer to earth and thus appearing brighter and bigger. It was […]
Spring is near and it feels like it today. Warm, sunny, clear, slight breeze and nearing the end of spring break. It has been an interesting week at The Orange Bee between bee adventures, the college search, March madness taking over every television we own and seeking to enjoy spring and the absence of our […]
UGH! The March winds are rearing their ugly heads today. The roaring sound is relentless, the phrase wind-blown is in effect, and my hair is tousled, to say the least. The twenty-seven mile per hour winds are wrecking havoc on my bee adventures and I am not happy about it. There are bee affairs […]
