HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE ON THE LIME GREEN SOFA. Love the choice of color for the bee box it is a very happy color brings joy and a smile. I really enjoy it when you are outside and the different sounds you can hear in the background. Learning about the bees and how they produce honey makes me really appreciate the wonderful local bee keepers that produce the Arkansas wildflower pure honey. Absolutely delicious, I use it in many of my recipes instead of sugar, much healthier and pure. I believe the Queen will love the color of the bee hive, because she wears very beautiful and colorful clothes. Another wonderful Sunday visit and I love it when you just chat about everything. I have learned so much from you and what you share.

In Canada we refer to "rooks" as crows. And yes, they can be very noisy indeed. The lime green is bold and striking. I do like it. Along with a bit of education on the hens. Years ago we took a bunch of eggs from another farmer which were fertilized and put them under our little red hen. She was the surrogate mother. (She was longing to be a mother hen) ha-ha but we had no rooster.

Happy Easter everyone! Hope the Easter Bunny was good to your all! Oh my goodness Kate, you and I are so much alike. I also forget what I was talking about in the middle of a conversation! I love hearing about the hens, rooster, bees and Eileen. You should put the rooster in with a couple of hens and hatch out some little chicks. It is such fun seeing baby chicks. I also enjoy hearing all about the bees. We had a swarm here in our eve a number of years back. It was amazing getting up on the ladder and being nose to nose with them and watching them all huddled together and flapping their wings keeping the queen cool. We figured they came out of a load of firewood that was delivered to the house. A bee keeper came and got all the bees for his hive. Please don't edit out anything, as everything you talk about is very interesting.

Hello Kate and everyone on the line green sofa. Sewing masks for my family and for anyone else around. It's been a learning process. I have revised my design several times mostly because I didn't have elastic. But it seems to be working. My son had to visit Walmart so I told him to get more fabric. He found fabric with transformers on it. So, naturally, he got it. So the question remains, whether he will find elastic or will I sacrifice another tee shirt for ties. It's been a little windy here today, and grim looking outside. Take care everyone. Stay safe.

Well, the walls were pealing, and I had to put on some plaster, so that had to come first, then paint, and yesterday my oldest daughter helped me put the bed downstairs. Now on to my new sewing room. It's hard for me to go step by step. I think of the idea, and want it done immediately. Really, patience is not my strong suit! Lovely day painting. We have snow on the ground.

I dyed some papers with rusty sludge (Will share the recipe if anyone is interested) and they are wonderfully distressed yellows like coffee dyed paper.

RavenStealstheNight, make up a container of 1cup white vinegar and 1 cup hydrogen peroxide and 2 tbs. salt. Soak iron nails, other iron objects, and metal things such as hinges, springs, auto part pieces, etc. After a few days the liquid gets rusty orange with sludge at the bottom. Swirl it around every now and then. Paint the sludge on paper or cloth or immerse in the sludge poured into a cake pan or aluminum pan. Double or make multiples of the recipe but keep the metal bits in it for future dying. Good luck and have fun. Oh, the rust can not only dye but leave a grainy residue on paper. I sprayed my papers with Workable Fixative like for charcoal or chalk pastel artwork.

I like the colour very much - so cheerful and uplifting! As to the rooster business, we had them for a variety of reasons. When we'd get our day-old chicks they weren't sexed, so there'd usually be the same number of hens and roos, so then we'd have to figure out what to do with them, once they'd made their maleness known. The one we'd keep had a very important job, and it wasn't what you think. A roo will protect their harem, with everything they've got. We had a lovely rooster that fought a Rottweiler and won! He lost his all his gorgeous tail feathers, but the hens were safe. The other reason we kept one was so we could replenish the flock from time to time. Heavenly to see biddy and her chicks. I miss our chickens so much, but too hard to keep where we are. We used to call the flock our home entertainment center. Love to sit talking to you, dear Kate. So peaceful...

Thank you lots for such a calming and fun visit outside enjoying nature and watching you paint such a happy color on the new hive. You never bore us. I sat here relaxing and chuckling at some of your comments. You are loved by so many. I enjoyed hearing your lessons on hens and bees. Always like learning something new. We are never too old for that. God bless. Stay well everyone.

Ohhh! The beehive is going to look so cheerful in the garden! Or maybe as an end table next to the Lime Green Sofa! :)

How mesmerizing! I haven't been able to sleep for exactly 365 days when I had surgery for my second new knee but this might just put me off to sleep because 4 am is just too early for me to get up and start pottering.Thanks Kate, it's been fascinating,learning about chooks and bees and love that colour! Stay well.Kaye in Australia.

Go onto KZfaq and find a channel that has the sound of rain thunderstorms fire crackling in the fireplace or sound of the ocean or the sound of birds. Go get your favorite perfume your favorite cologne and spray it around your pillow. Place fresh set of sheets on the bed close all windows put a sleeping mask on . Take a really hot shower lay in bed on your back fold your hands together on your chest and relax. Sweet dreams my friend.💓

Thank you all for tips on insomnia. Believe me, I have tried them all.I suspect something in the anaesthetic upset my body clock, it certainly didnt work post operatively for pain, after 3 days on fentanyl I was in agony...so I am someone that drug doesnt work for.I think it's going to take time,patience and body work as suggested by Irene Lyon, Peter Levine et al.In the meantime, there's always KZfaq, so much excellent content like Kate,Bealtaine cottage etc.Stay safe, KZfaq friends.K in Australia.

Take your knitting out, Kate said and there I sat klicking away 🧶 😂 love the color for the 🐝 bees. In fact: we love the same colors: bright and much of it 🤩 💃🏻

I think the bees house is lovely! I just watched this now, on Easter Sunday and your weather looked great. Here in Tennessee it is raining...so much rain. I know it is vital for all things living but so is sunshine. lol Take care. Happy Easter. XO

Lovely to sit and listen to the soft brushh, brusshh, brusshh sounds as you painted, meditative really. Maybe that's why they are called brushes.. LOL. Loved all the bee and chicken info Kate, I have a lot of bee questions but I know you will cover them in another episode. You don't need another list of things to do, ie answer questions about the bees. I always have google. Take care and I love the acid yellow also. Fern in Minnesota, where we got about 3 inches of the white stuff. Gorgeous outside and when I went for a walk I saw a lot of bunny footprints. It appears the Easter Bunny isn't as large as has been reported. hehehe
