Regarding your Nova Scotia vacation, have you seen this website:

She is on my “to-do” list one of these days when family health issues resolve!

I saved this entry in Goggle Reader for a time when I could comment because I want to echo what Marlena said about Sue Hubbell’s books. I think “A Country Year” is the best but “A Book of Bees” is great too. I really, really, really love her writing. She used to write for the New Yorker but I haven’t seen anything recently. Anyway, go check out A Country Year – it will be the best book you’ll read this year.

Yay! I’m very much looking forward to your visit to Nova Scotia.

Beekeeping also seems so romantic to me. I imagine it to be such a simple, relaxing way to make a living.

Funny… I’ve started knocking around the idea of beekeeping as well. Especially because the bee sickness is causing so much trouble and because bees are such an important part of our ecology. Of course, this wouldn’t work so well in brooklyn… it’s a lovely idea, though

I don’t know what kind of comedians you like, but Eddie Izzard is one of my favorites. He has a great sketch about being a bee keeper. Check it out here.

I was a French horn player for many years – from 5th grade till a year or so after college, then life got in the way and I haven’t played very much since. I take the horn out a couple times a year, try to get back into it, find I’m out of shape and that it’s difficult, put it away. I’m really trying again these days; I’ve played twice in the past week and will probably play again today. I’d love to get back into it and get good enough to be in an orchestra again!

I’m so glad you decided to share these with us! I especially love the bee keeping idea. That would be SO cool! When you are a beekeeper, I will have to come and visit you.

I enjoyed this post, Lolly! You are a very interesting person, to say the least. I believe it was on your site that first heard about the book, The Secret Life of Bees, which I thought was an enjoyable read. Although keeping bees does not entice me I am always a bit enthralled by those who do it!
