Is it? Really?
I guess we just have to rethink what the seasons are and what they mean at this point. It’s around 80 degrees in November. We just had our first rain in 42 days. In many years past we would have snow by now. Maybe winter just doesn’t mean winter anymore. We will have to be rethinking so many things in the coming years. Of course the weather will be in the mix because what do we talk about if not the weather?
So we never did have bee chat on November 5. I guess the pollinators did not vote in great numbers after all. They were too busy out looking for water. Probably most of them didn’t make it to the 5th.

Most of the news this week is similar to what we put out last time.
The bullets:
- We will have the November monthly meeting in person at St. James as well as online. It should be a fun meeting. Yes we’ll bring some pizza. Please do attend. It’s nice to be around other people these days. Regardless of the changes to the seasons community will help us to survive and adapt.
- On December 21 we will have our Winter Solstice Pot Luck!
- Pick up unsold honey
- Business meeting
- New board members!
