Fall Festival

We're on the way out of town again tonight.  Going to head west and north a bit, close up the bees for the winter, and cross our fingers that they make it through.  They've been a bit ...  Don't know quite how to explain it...  UNexcitable lately?  We're concerned the hives are having issues which we aren't catching, but a local veteran keeper is saying they'll be fine.  With the predictions of a long and blustery winter ahead, C3 and I aren't so sure.  Still, hoping for the best and preparing for the worst.  We'll have another package of bees on order for this coming spring just in case.  And in the best case scenario we're hoping for, we'll have 3 hives next warm season.

Tonight is the final hurrah here in the city before getting on the road.  The Boy's school is having its annual fall festival tonight.  He's excited for two things:  First, he gets to wear his Mad Hatter costume to the event.  (Which is really very impressive, thanks to his grandmother.)  And second, book fair!  He's been choosing books from the list and his "pre screening" of the fair for about a week now.

Sure am proud of my boy.  I know he'll appreciate the events, games, snacks, etc, etc...  But he's really looking forward to getting some new books.
