Rachael Smith 4/27/2023 10:58 AMMy favorite pollinator is the mason bee! I got a bee house a few years ago and yesterday I spent about 10 minutes just watching the mason bees go in and out of the little house. It was magica. -

Rachael Smith 4/09/2023 6:42 PMI mended a sweater for my partner and one of my own. I’m not the most skilled, but taking a little time I was able to fix my partner’s sweater so it looked great! My own I used brightly colored thread so the mended spots stand out. -
