Guest Post by Bob Garvin

A big THANK YOU goes to the Einolfs for taking our kids for the weekend so we could spend time together!
Bob keeps a garden journal and this is what he wrote about the weekend:



18 January 2015
Einolf’s had the kids this weekend so Tesha and I got a weekend alone!  Went to Harrisburg last night as a spur of the moment thing, stopped at Bass Pro Shops, then ate dinner at Susquehanna Harvest Restaurant on Progress Avenue.  All local food.  They are doing a good thing.  But the atmosphere was too “suburban” for me.  Then spent the night in Harrisburg at a Hampton Inn before driving back this morning for church.  Would have been nice to visit our friends at Trinity but I had to lead this morning and Tesha had to teach Sunday School. 

Well, we had a nice afternoon today just walking the property a little bit and playing with the pigs.  Tesha took a video of me calling the pigs to see them running down through the woods, then she posted it on Facebook or something like that.  

Later in the afternoon we checked the beehive again.  Looks like last check was Dec 22.  We’ve had really cold weather the past couple of weeks with temps down in the single digits.  So I wasn’t sure what to expect, but when we checked the hive, the bees were still alive!  Half of the pollen patty was gone and most of the sugar candy was gone.  I’ll have to feed them again soon.  So hopeful that they’ll make it through the winter!
