- This bee was so busy on Saturday, going from flowering plant to flowering plant, I finally managed to snap his photo while he was in motion. It's so delightful to see them around, when there has been so much in the news about them vanishing.
- Coworker Bobby brought in mountain apples to share at work on Monday. They smell so good and are delicious.
- This is the fun holidays of the month calendar I produce these days - I hang them on the bulletin boards at work. So it was fitting that Monday was
Johnny Appleseed Day and we had apples. Google tells me that Johnny Appleseed
was an "American pioneer nurseryman who introduced
apple trees to large parts of Pennsylvania, Ontario, Ohio, Indiana, and
Illinois, as well as the northern counties of present-day West Virginia."
It's also National Chicken Month - I amused myself by finding cute chicken clip art. :)

Great post of all good things. Bees, apples and fun facts plus you can never go wrong with chicken clip art:-)
I remember reading the story of Johnny Appleseed when I was a kid.
That's a great excuse to punch someone in the face on the 20th September. Damn I've missed my chance now.
I love the smell of apples! We've just brought some in from Crafty Green Boyfriend's Mum's garden and they smell wonderful
Always good to see bees, we have the last bees of summer here at the moment along with plenty of wasps and hoverflies
Hi Lynn - I did spot the bee .. but had to enlarge him! Still he returned to normal ... so no damage done and I can confirm Mr Bee is safely searching on ...
Apples - how glorious to have fresh ones brought in - luxury ...
Johnny Appleseed - good name ... and apple time - not much better than that ... cheers Hilary

Fun that you do that, Lynn. I would want you to work in my office...! ;-)
lg!
(The apples look gorgeous, too. We found some Wolf River apples up in Iola,WI and I have been slowly putting them out in a vacant yard for 'our' city dwelling deer on the Root River Parkway!) ;-)
Aren't bees wonderful?
Hooray for bees. And good apples. And isn't a contented chookie noise delightful?
It's Chicken Day for me every day here...for the next six weeks...I'm feeding my landlords' chickens while they're holidaying in the UK. I do similar each time they head back to England.
Bees...wonderful bees....great to see them buzzing about. :)
Yay apple time- Looking forward to some cider.
Thought I had a bee pic but he came out invisible. Oh well-
