Bumblebee

Sweet nectar where rain falls silently...

The Art of Giving is in the buds of Lavender where 

Bumblebees and Hummingbirds work together side by side 

sipping nectar for pollinating fruits and vegetables to 

sustain the babies and families to obtain a resistance to 

colds and unknown strains of Corona Virus... 

Asparagus is gathered in bunches to steam and serve with 

buttered carrots in cream and home-made bread warm from the Oven... 

Female goats roam on grassy knolls and consent to provide milk for cheese 

when Winter sets in and Summers Harvest is stored for soups and sauces with 

tender herbs... Parsnips are added for a unique flavor to enhance casseroles 

and scalloped potatoes .  Bon appetite !

My aunt is an art professor she did an entire series of Bee paintings LOL so you know i'm gonna click on this write:) You took the bees to a whole new place in this to reflect upon the harvest provided by the efforts:) what a nice surprise Patricia! I hope you enjoy your Thanksgiving but it doesn't take a holiday for the likes of you to give thanks!

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Robert... lovely to hear from you...
Wow!! A series of Bumble Bee paintings.
I have the utmost respect for the Bees 🐝 that pollinate and give us Honey. Hope your Thanksgiving is full of Harvest gifts and strawberry Wine. gently, Pat

A feast for the eyes and a fulfillment for the belly. In your words, I see how it is all important and connected. We have to appreciate all those blessings as you do Pat. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. Your wonderous writes are natural if not heavenly.

[Patricia Wedel]

I see your culinary skills extending to the garden Pat, lovely writing.

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Andrew... Autumn is full of pumpkin smiles and birds in flight to a better climate... and the harvesting of vegetables for Winter survival. Wishing you and yours a Cornucopia of fortune and abundance.
gently, Pat

Overall, I became more taken with the meal preparation than the garden scene that precedes it. I love the way you start out with lavender being a playground for the various pollenators to mix & mingle. I love how you allude to the healing qualities of eating that which has been blessed by the natural creatures & robust minerals of mother earth. Your poem suggests that when many of God's creatures & condiments are contributing to a meal, that's the best way to become more connected & harmonious. Nice plan for life! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[Patricia Wedel]

Thank you Margie... working together to benefit from Nature is a harmonious view of life from cost to coast and all corners of the world to encourage our immune system. Best of days as you gather your harvest.
gently, Pat

Lovely ode to Nature that, eventually, borders on the mouth-watering.
Hummingbirds have always seemed to be just bigger bees; at times, these tiny birds
move so quickly, they practically disappear.
Thoroughly enjoyed this read, Pat.

[Patricia Wedel]

Thank you Jimmy... I appreciate your review. Nature has so much to entertain us. Hope you enjoy Thanksgiving... gently, Pat

[Neville]

howlin horney toads Pat .. dont they say the way to a mans heart is through his herbaceous borders or something like that ... what a splendid harvest you have crafted here for all of us to savour :)

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Neville... this year I bought a Pomegranate and a Cinnamon Candle...
to dream upon... no calories... I pray...

Loved the inner moral. Nature itself is a management and we have a lot to learn from them. The feeling of oneness is missing in today's society but example of bumblebees and hummingbirds is lesson necessary to endure as foundational values in our life. We all are part of system not the master we need to understand this moral until its too late. Happy to come across something fresh and interesting. Thank you for writing this. You wrote a pure gem.

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Vari... love your Avatar... my grown children have always taken their children on hikes and now the youngest grands ride Bikes. Nature teaches us to talk to the Moon and Stars as the Sky forewarns of impending weather. May you be blessed with the wealth of Nature. tenderly, Pat

[Vari]

Ty Pat.... Glad to read this. May you always remain happy and motivating... Nice to meet you virtually.

[Patricia Wedel]

We never cease learning ... it is important to communicate and share our feelings which keeps us aware of possibilities. Like sharing Recipes... sometimes a dash of Nutmeg can a Dish a kick that satisfies. truly, Pat

[Patricia Wedel]

Sometimes a dash of Nutmeg can give a dish of fruit or even Marinara sauce a special kick🍑... 🦊...

[Vari]

Yeah very true, Pat

this reminds me of my annual, local visit to the country's oldest fair (canceled this year due to the virus). they have bees in honeycombs that you can see. the queen is marked. you can buy honey. they also have fruits and vegetables on display and there is a largest pumpkin contest (usually about 1,000 lbs.) there are animal barns - rabbits, goats, donkeys, sheep and a horse show. thanks for taking me there and reminding me. your delicious words and images have set a lovely table. thanks for the sweet, tasty write ... :)

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Pete... love those County Fairs... the Goats are my favorite. Of course, I love donkeys and horses. I bought my first collection of baby chicks at the Fair when
My kids were young. Some were Rhode Island Red that grew up and laid Brown Eggs. We got a Rooster from somewhere.
Those were the days with a garden and our own Raspberry Bush. Glad you enjoyed. Lovely to have you visit. Gently, Pat
