Thanks for pointing that out. . ...I added the link. Thanks for pointing that out. . . I'll see what happens with the deaths (auto correct is kind of creepy) I mean DESTASH sale. It was worth a try so I am not going to worry about it. At least I don't have the idea nagging in the back of my mind anymore ;-)<br />There probably is a big store of honey somewhere in the chimney insulation. The smell lingers, so bees will be attracted to the place where honey was, for years. As we're not renovating, we won't be pulling out bricks etc so I'll just get our bit of of repair done and see what next year brings. <br />I'm about to get some bird feeders now the weather is starting to get more autumnal. We don't seem to get the usual british garden birds, not sure why. I need to encourage more small birds so the feeds should make them less shy, I hope. We do get rather special looking Green Woodpeckers on our lawn. After ants apparently. We had four on there a few weeks ago.<br />We never get winters as cold as you. Must be interesting as long as you are kitted out for such things. .<br />Jon Burgess Designhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11686489273842347796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5092482901439814613.post-56805566865755421492016-10-08T10:41:35.746-07:002016-10-08T10:41:35.746-07:00I'm not a big facebook fan so I guess I've...I'm not a big facebook fan so I guess I've missed this whole event from the beginning Jon. I've now gone back and reread looking for a link to the page...ahem....hint hint....no problem - I'll find you...<br /><br />I'd say leave the sale up for a bit more - take down - put it up again in a couple of weeks and say just in time for Christmas jewelry making or pre-Christmas sales....get people thinking....<br /><br />Your new beads are VERY attractive again. I think they would complement those gorgeous coloured beads you posted last...oh my....<br /><br />The bees - I waited until winter - which here gets to -40C on a regular basis - in fact it's below 0 here and we have a couple of inches of snow we gathered yesterday....such fun. <br /><br />When it was really cold I drilled into the wall and used a bee bomb. How I wish now that I hadn't done that but back then I didn't think much beyond trying to get renovations done. When I opened up the wall it was an entire wall of honey and I had (mostly) killed all the honey bees. I hate myself for that now with the scarcity of honey bees and them dying off everywhere - thank you Monsanto! and thank you me....dammit<br /><br />Your poor birds. I am particularly fond of birds as we don't have pets anymore (I just can't take the dying part at the end. It does me in.) So I have 5 birdfeeders in the yard and loads of birds everywhere...I do love to listen to them. Having that happen in my yard would be particularly distressing for me. I've got a very soft (and stupid) heart. <br /><br />Now - I'm off to find your facebook page! aimshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12685252628734838159noreply@blogger.com
