Yesterday was our first market of the season. It was good to see old familiar faces both vendors and customers. There was a parade for a group of soldiers coming home from Afghanistan. The turn-out of people to cheer them home was very touching. Later we saw the soldiers go by in the Lawrenceville Trolley, all waving at us.
I sold out of honey so I had to rob the bees again today. They are still doing well, except that 2 of the starter hives are either missing their queens or they are just too quick for me to spot! Anyway, I love my "mutt" bees that I got from Don of www.fatbeeman.com. They outwork the Italians hands down.
This year at the Lawrenceville Farmer's Market I will have my honey, Bee Lip Balm and my beeswax hand cream. I plan to make a mosquito repellent cream as soon as I get in the required essential oils. I will also have tote bags printed with my original artwork, painted gourds and needle felted animals. I am currently working on a needle felted Savannah Cat with posable wire skeleton.
Of course I am still working full time at Research Think Tank in Buford Georgia doing viral loads and genotyping of HIV and hepatitis B and C. We are currently working on a genotyping assay for the Integrase region of the HIV genome. My boss is in Croatia presenting a poster on clones and reproducibility tomorrow.
Last Friday I had my beloved Emma dog put to sleep. What a wonderful life she had, and what a dear little girl she was! I love you Em and you will never be replaced in my heart!
