I’m busy. Home guarding. Hank educating. Fireplace watching.
I’m very busy. Like a bee. Which brings me to MomPerson’s latest almost disaster.
I’ll start before this morning’s almost disaster. About a week ago she was picking cherry tomatoes from the raised garden when she decided to cut some of the marigolds. So she did, and as she walked into the house she got a surprise.
Luckily it was a cold morning, and this bee was asleep. MomPerson quietly took the flower back to the garden and left the bee and its flower there. Good thinking.
Im not saying MomPerson is crazy, but instead of chasing bugs and spiders in the house, she catches them in paper towels and puts them outside. Outside she even picks up silly earth worms stranded in the driveway and places them back in the grass.
Yesterday she moved the front porch potted plants inside to the sunroom for the winter. The sunroom is the Cats’ territory. You have to be very careful not to step on them. They nap more than MomPerson’s Bumblespells Books protagonist Cl’rnce.
This morning she noticed our usually napping cats circling something on the carpet, It was a HUGE BEE- the marigold bee’s very awake, bigger than King Kong, and very angry buzzing brother BEE! The cats stayed back. They’re smarter than I thought. But not MomPerson. She got a plastic cup with a lid and scooped it up.
She marched it outside. Luckily she left it on a pile of leaves then quickly came back inside and closed the door. I was waiting for the BEE to start banging on the sunroom windows and summon an army of BIG BEES to … So far nothing.
I’m torn. Do I hide the ‘Bee Catching’ cup MomPerson put on the plant etagere or let her catch more?
Hank is out checking for the BEE. Sigh. I thought we covered NOT eating BEES this summer.
Just Saying,
Rufus
