Have you ever wondered where bumble bees sleep? You haven’t? Yesterday morning, I found out. The sun wasn’t yet up, but I was. I stepped off the deck and went around to check out my Rose of Sharon. The day before, I’d seen lots of bumble bees busy among the blossoms. Well, yesterday morning, when I looked, two sleepy bees were snuggled deep within a couple of blooms. So, now, I know! The best part is, those lucky bees can wake up and have breakfast in bed!
I’ve wondered where insects, birds, and animals go during a storm. Without a scientific basis, I’d just guess they head for a tangle of tree limbs or bushes that might shelter them from wind and rain. My back fence is sort of a tangle of trumpet vines, honeysuckle, and other, unidentified flora. But, the birds like it. And, so do I. It reminds me of woods and country life.
This morning, a dove calls from somewhere in the yard. Awake already. Cars zoom up and down the interstate. Busy sounds, busy people and animals. July is moving right along and heading toward August.
