...his furry coat & his gauzy wing

The wild Bee reels from bough to bough
With his furry coat and his gauzy wing,
Now in a lily cup, and now
Setting a jacinth bell a-swing,
In his wandering.

I'm increasingly worried about the murmurs and hype about Hurricane Irene. One really doesn't want to be away from home during these East Coast stormy events, but predicting them is not easy. So, we continue to plan on our little jaunt to the Maine house, but with an ear and eye to the weather.

Of bloom & bees

Last evening's guest

But I want to go to Maine too!


For the Record,
This day came in warm and sunny with building humidity and an increasing wind.
