Oh, Carol... first of all, it was such a joy to see your card today with all the warmth and the buzzing of the bees. I feel summertime just looking at it. Then I read your note about John. I'm so sorry. There are things about this time of life that are so hard. It's all around me among my friends as well as changes here at home. Let your crafting and blogging take you away. Sending hugs.

A lovely bright and sunny design celebrating these wondrous creatures. Thanks for sharing at Allsorts this week.
Unfortunately I haven't seen very many bees on our Lavender bush so far this year or on the Campanula and they are usually covered, which is such a shame.
