Just a grand-pup ( and some bees)

 

 I already shared the Unitarian deer.


My son plays almost daily with my grand-pup, Zora. He throws a ball, she brings it back, over and over again.

Tai with Zora on a back packing  camping trip.


She's happily resting on the remains of her  doll.


And speaking of dolls...

My friend Teresa made sure I'd remember Black Mountain with this little stuffie. "You've got a friend in Black Mountain NC"  Of course the bookshelf didn't remain  empty for long.

I just saw a wonderful mural (among several) by The Good of the Hive. Here's the video.





This beautiful mural is part of Matt Willey's The Good of the Hive mural project: hand painting 50,000 honey bees—the number in a healthy hive—in murals and installations around the world. Located on the former Honey & the Hive building in Weaverville, this beautiful mural was painted in 2016 and still remains on the building (as of Sept 2025 Google Maps).
This mural became a loving tribute to Honey & the Hive founder Sarah McKinney, who sadly passed in 2020.
The mural can be found at 23 Merrimon Ave/US-19 Business.

    Bees! We owe them so much. They deserve a mural.

    I love the bee mural. I wonder where all they are being painted?

    Thank you so much for bringing "The Good of the Hive" project to my attention! I am completely entranced by it! The website for the project is fascinating. I love bees and I love murals, so this is a perfect marriage of the two! For others who may be interested, the website is at thegoodofthehive.com.

Thanks for commenting! I tried moderating, thinking that would be a quicker way to check on comments, but actually it takes more time. So go ahead and talk amongst yourselves, and I'll check in when I can!!
