Mr. Bumble Bee and Me

Mr. Bumble Bee
Created by Yellowss

Hey there Mr. Bumble Bee, how are you today?
Do you enjoy sitting on that flower?
Where are all your friends? Don't they like to fly?
Where do you live?
Why are you so fuzzy?
Is yellow your favorite color?
Are you a boy, or a girl?
I Know I'm asking a lot of questions, but what's that behind you?
OUCH!

by David Lyne-Gordon

if i were a bumblebee and you a scented rose,
i'd invite myself to tea and nibble your toes.
i'd nibble you all over and make you squeak and trill,
lying in a bed of clover, keeping out the chill.
when morning came i'd serve you tea to keep you satisfied.
and make you feel you wanted to be with a bumblebee by your side.


Okay it's me now. This bumble bee would not leave me alone! I think he was first drawn to me by my new purple garden gloves and then just hung around for awhile. Head to toe. Total stalker! Hubby would have nothing of it when the bee tried to land on him. I guess for me I have a new garden friend.

I now debut my first video:

Great first video, you have a nice voice, its exactly how i thought it would be. I don't detect a heavy accent which is good i guess!!

Weren't you scared of getting stung? I would have been 2 miles down the road already!! :O)

What a great debut video! That bee's almost as cute as you. :-)

I let bees crawl on me sometimes, too. It's scary in a way, but in many ways it helps me feel more connected with all that's in and around me.

How awesome that you got videos and photos!!!! How did you feel after it finally flew away?

Lots of love to you,

Wendi

Bees are rarer than diamonds these days. You are a bee whisperer. A natural bee charmer. Friends that rare are hard to come by. And think of all the pollenation blessings he left in your garden. We love you bumblebee. Come visit me next time you're around! Great video too. Even novices make fun movies in this modern world. What will they come up with next? Making friends over blog postings? Who knew! Keep up the great garden posts. Ha ha. I crack me up. Garden. Posts. Ha ha ha.

They are so big and fat. I love bumblebees. They've got great texture and color.

I was telling friends how I was trying to capture a bumblebee on camera yesterday but he was simply too busy to hold still.

Loved your first video. Hope to see more!!!

You are as pretty as a rosie. I guess that's why this little bee (as well as the rest of us) is drawn to you :-)

People are saying here that you have a cute voice. I'm here to say that your voice is even CUTER in person. Seriously.

Now, as for the bee. WOW. I'm impressed. I'd be running off screaming like a little girl and there's no way I could let a bee crawl on me.

Bee whisperer indeed! :)

Aw, shucks everybody! Funny thing is before posting this video I was saying to hubby what an annoying voice I thought I had! Thanks for making me feel better. :)

That bumble was bee...ing your friend! I think it was drinking your sweet raw food sweat! That might sound gross, but I bet a fruity person(not in the mental sense mind you) has a sweeter sweat than a SAD eater. He just knew who was the prettiest and had the sweetest nectar to take a break on! He sidled up to the HiHoRosie Bar to quentch his thirst!

That was SOOO CUTE!!!! I love your voice too, like everyone was saying. It's so nice to hear your voice! Awww that was just so sweet. I've never seen anything like that before. He or she was very content! I agree with Annie, the bee was probably enjoying the fruity essences from your skin! Loved the video and I can't wait to see more!!! We just got a video camera a few weeks ago so maybe one day I'll join the video club too!!! :-)

Those bees are so pretty close up but I'm too big of a chicken to let one land on me. Your pretty calm/tough chick:)

Happy Friday! Thought I'd let someone else take the reins today and share with you an interesting topic. How Raw Diets Can Make a Difference Transitioning to a raw food diet is often thought of as only a personal choice, as a journey that one individually decides to embark on for whatever reason, whether it be ethical or health-related or some other reason entirely. But the Examiner in Sacramento suggests an interesting idea involving raw food diets that could potentially make a difference in the greater community. The social problem that the Examiner discusses is the city's increased problems with homelessness among seniors. The article reports that Sacramento has seen a sharp rise in the elderly being displaced, resulting from what many speculate the aging of the Baby Boomer generation. The article goes on to posit a refreshing new idea that would offer homeless seniors both a source of sustaining and sustainable nutrition and that would also give them something rewarding

WEGO Health: Superpower!

Image
We’ve all daydreamed about having a superpower like superheroes, haven’t we? I mean Superman can fly, reverse time (at least, in the name of love) and is uber strong. Spiderman, well, he uses web power to fly around and catch bad guys. There are other interesting superpowers like invisibility, walking through walls, shape shifting, or reading of the mind. That last one doesn’t interest me much ever since I watched an old episode of the Twilight Zone where the character could suddenly hear everyone’s thoughts and there was no filter so it became overwhelming and noisy in his head. Um, no thanks. At certain times though, I’ve wished for the ability. Could’ve saved a lot of problems, you know? Or be a fly on the wall… * According to this list, there’s insanely rich. I never really thought of that as a superpower per se but it is one I would love to have. That superpower should just be a given. With super wealth I could share it and help so many people, go to so many causes

The "Glow"

Image
I know I'm supposed to be working on a different post - about my trip - but wanted to interrupt that to share something else. ******** People into the raw food lifestyle are familiar with the "glow." Maybe you're one who's been told a time or two that you have the glow. It's noticeable to spot a person who obviously is taking care of themselves by what they do and put into their bodies and especially when on the raw food lifestyle. Eating raw foods allows your body to properly process and digest foods plus all the those living enzymes and minerals means less work your body has to do so the result is a beautiful youthful glow. I have received such comments, which are always great to hear but I have been hearing this more so lately. From people who don't know me to people in the raw food world. When I was at our local raw vegan sto re one of the owners we nt on about how I (and hubby too) have transformed since she first met me; that I do have a healthy glow
