The beginning of June was kind of wacky, and busy, and felt not unlike May. Which, incidentally, happens to be the last month I've posted in. I know where the blame lies though. With my calendar, which I have left on May up until today. Subliminally, I must have THOUGHT it was still May, and thus had no inclination to do any of the things I was supposed to do for June.
Sounds like science to me.
Anyway, one other thing that was accomplished today: I made a bunch of these mason bee boxes. Yes, I am finally a bee slumlord. The screens on these babies are never going to be fixed, I tell you what. Nor will the pipes ever be replaced.
They're super easy to make, especially if you have some spare 4x4 lying around. Then you just angle one end, drill a bunch of deep holes, add some overhang and hang it up near some flowers. If, like me, you do NOT have some spare 4x4 lying around, then you will have to buy a standard 8 foot piece at the lumber store, get it cut into two more manageable pieces, and then endure the clerk's snarky remarks (Eg "Oh, the bus driver is going to LOVE you. Good luck with that.") You will then leave half of it on home and carry the rest to the nearest public transit, where the bus driver will INDEED love you as you ferry it aboard and all the way to Saanich.
After that, you can repeat the previous steps, starting with the sawing.
