Oh, the happy song of bees

I stood rapt under the apricot tree this afternoon, bathed in the loud thrum of bees. How I've missed these creatures in the time since our hives died last summer. Such a happy busy Summer-y sound, makes me want to swing in a hammock and stare at the sky.  

Like a little bee myself, busy planting lettuce starts and radishes in between the rows, next to the overwintering bokchoy and cilantro.  Chock full of summer salad dreams.
