Victory Garden This Ain't

 It may or may not be common knowledge by now that I have bees.

There's something about beekeeping gear that lends itself to frump.

While my bees have been building their numbers, I've been growing sunflower seeds into plants that ought to have been put in a proper home by this point in their lives, and last weekend the garden bed was built for them. It was my birthday present!

 Today, the fun began. It was they day I got to play with dirt!

Three hours of sifting, hauling and dumping buckets of dirt and the box still isn't full. The plants still aren't in the ground. I did end up with a new pair of shorts courtesy of my old worn out jeans that jest decided they didn't want to anymore.

For those of you counting, that's both legs torn from the knee on up. 

Very unladylike, shame on me.
