What have we been up to?

When I start getting emails asking, “Are you guys okay? What happened to the blog?” I know it’s time to jump on here and give you all an update. We’ve had a great summer and it’s not over yet. We’re still pulling the summer honey, and even with this latest bout of rain, it’s still coming in strong. Spring, however, was something special to talk about. The best Spring honey harvest we’ve ever had!
Our family took quite a few trips this summer- beginning with a trip to Washington DC to tour the monuments and visit some friends.
…We really came for the ice cream.
And ended with a trip to Washington State, where we dove into cold lakes to beat the 110 degree heat wave.

In the middle of the summer we enjoyed the Pickaway County Fair, our new horse Winnie, and our youngest daughter learned to ride a bike.
There are definitely more stories to share in the coming weeks, but for now I will leave you with 2 important dates:
# 1 : The Lithopolis Honeyfest! Friday, SEPTEMBER 10TH, 3PM - 7PM and Saturday SEPTEMBER 11TH 10AM TO 7 PM. Find all the details here: http://centralohiobeekeeper.com/ It’s always a good time- come on out and see us at the honeyfest.
#2 We’ll be hosting a “Solar Energy Open House” in conjunction with Paradise Energy Solutions, who installed solar panels on our barn. This will be on October 29th. More information and exact time will follow. Anyone interested in learning about the potential to install solar panels on your own home or barn is welcome to attend. (something was mentioned about free food, too)
Thanks for checking in and we promise it won’t be 3 months until our next blog post. The kids are in school, which means I have a little more free time to write and connect.
