Lumba Go
The day broke with a cloud sitting down in Peaceful Valley and I suspected more wet weather.
But, alas, by noon, the sun was out with a nice cooling breeze. Perfect weather!
Here's an appreciative Great Spangled Fritillary (Speyeria cybele) down in the Hillside Garden munching on a marigold blossom. I've been trying to make this photograph for a month but it was always either no camera or no butterfly!
On the lumbago front, it's nearly gone. The muscles protecting the facet joints on the right were healed fairly well when I awoke but those on the left side were now complaining, most likely because of the "crab walk". Anyhow, I took another massive dose of ibuprofen and spend half the day in bed to let them heal and should be out and about tomorrow.
The beekeeping kit arrived today ... all 57 pounds of it! I had Brown do the heavy lifting to the front stoop where I could open the box. And wouldn't you know it? The box contained a white Italian space suit!
The kit says it's a beekeepers suit with integral head covering and face screen to keep the bees from stinging the beekeeper. Anyhow, all the writing on it is in Italian and it looks very Italian (right down to the little pull rings on the zippers) and gives the general appearance of having been something that might have been left over from the Italian space program. Accordingly, I'm thinking of having my name embroidered in it beside a likeness of Galileo and, of course, an Italian bee.
