But put out of your mind any romantic ideas that it's a way of glory. It's a life of suffering and hardship, an uncompromising devotion to your oath and your duty.

Patrolling the horizon, in search of some nectar, this honeybee drone happens upon the Halifax Public Gardens. After some intensive searching of other blooms in the vast land of perennials and annuals; avoiding hungry ducks, pigeons and spiders, the drone finally reaches the largest of the crop in the Park. The sunflower. An immense flower with a head the size of a dinner plate, this sunflower offers enough nectar to satiate the quota for this and many other of the hive workers. Gathering to the fill, the bee quickly takes flight and heads back to the hive, ready to tell the other drones of his find. Soon, a small army, of even smaller proportions, will be dispatched for the Gardens in hope of finding the many other brethren of this sunflower, to make the honey that is enjoyed by all.

Enjoying our well-packed lunch at the net park, out in the burbs (unfortunately the suburbs seem to have more money to build cooler playgrounds).
Participants got a chance to dig for treasure at the 2013 "Dig into Reading" Summer Reading Kick-Off Day Party at the Rapid City Public Libraries
Jim and I worked for amost an hour, digging around this huge chunk and hoping it would be a nice agate - unfortunately, it turned out to be only black jasper and may have weighed in well over three hundred pounds - it is still there!

Kune Kune– a small Maori pig from New Zealand. They were kept by the Maoris as pets but were nevertheless eaten on special occasions. They were allowed to wander freely in Maori villages, scavenging for food around and inside the houses and it is probably this longstanding close association with man which has made them so friendly and docile. ‘Kune Kune’ means fat and round in Maori. Kune Kunes arrived in Britain in 1992. They are between twenty four and thirty inches high, and one hundred and twenty to two hundred and forty pounds in weight. They are completely covered in hair which can be anything between short and straight, and long and curly. They come in a range of cream, ginger, brown, black and spotted. They have a medium to short snout, and either prick or flopped ears. They have short legs and a short round body. The most unusual feature of most Kune Kune pigs is a pair of tassels, called piri piri, under their chin like a goat. This is not unique to the Kunes but it is unusual. Temperament wise, they are delightful, being placid and very friendly. They thrive on human company.
