And busy as a bee. Good weekend’s worth of work all done on Saturday. Yard raked and seeded. Almost 6000 square feet of garden tilled, anxious earth now at the ready, second only to my own impatience. The bobcat pushing and lifting and dumping and filling and leveling. Tending the Good Mother in hopes of bountiful reward. Work begun too on the new chicken coop, expanded digs to accommodate the growing brood.
Got a quick tutorial in bee keeping Saturday. Over 7000 bees in each box. Gunnar had 18 boxes, riding around Saunders county with 126,000 buzzing bees. Honey is money.
Pete and Kyle and Cackie and Cayu taking like ducks to water. It really is true, ducks are the pigs of the poultry world, nasty little buggers, cute as they are.
Still managed to get in a couple of good runs. Friday afternoon’s 6.5 mile tempo followed by Saturday’s little 8.5 mile game of hare and hound. Legs exquisitely trashed yesterday. Raring to go this morning.
Speaking of raring to go. I heard from Mario Macias recently. He touched base concerning entry into the Lincoln Marathon. I assured him as two time defending champ we are thrilled that he is not only coming back but with a fire in his belly. 2013 women’s champ Camille Herron won’t be returning so should be wide open.
The Novartis 10K was Saturday. Some decent times and good competition across the top spots. NRGE mates Kyle Clouston, Jerrod Anzalone and Stacy Mangers Shaw all running well.
