Bees Bees and More Bees

These bushes in our front yard have an insane amount of bees in them today. I've never seen this happen before. Maybe they are enjoying the few minutes of sunshine we seem to be getting today.

Not much time to blip. We are on our way out to get a new washing machine. Ours broke this week (despite it not being that old) and it's cheaper to buy a new one than it is to repair our existing one. It's been another one of "those weeks" between finding out about major car repairs in the very near future and a broken washing machine. When it rains, it pours is how the saying goes!
