Daily Reminder # 642

Just gratitude today, I think.  It's a beautiful day here and I hope it is the same where you are as well.  Took these pictures yesterday. My back yard has been very quiet except that there are still lots and lots of bees on the flowering quince and they look robust and healthy like they did when I first moved here. Makes me so happy.  I just Googled bumble bee recovery and it looks like they are recovering in California, New Jersey, PA also. That was just from a quick glance the links that showed up. The only cloud on today's horizon is that my new toothbrush has not shipped from Amazon.com yet and my dying antique may be totally dead. I doesn't really work that well as a manual brush. But I guess it will have to do.

If you look right in the center you can see a bee.
