I Will Survive
"Oy."I'm not sure how I'm going to make it, but by this time one week from today I will be marveling at all I accomplished. Right now, I'm wondering how I'm going to do it. First up, I have a lunch meeting/presentation with the Office of Tourism tomorrow in New Ulm which is about two hours away. Sometime tomorrow, my supplier (B & B Honey Farm--who does not have a website) is getting our honey bees over in Houston, MN and I will pick those up on Tuesday, drive them to Mr. Neil's, make them some nectar and pollen patties, hive them, wait twenty-four hours to make sure they accept the hives on Wednesday. Thursday, we fly out to Cleveland, OH for the North Coast Nature Festival, Friday morning we do some tv appearances (at 5am), do some final rehearsing for Play on Birds, Saturday I lead walks, give presentations, and that night we do Play on Birds. Sunday is a little more of the same only minus the Play on Birds. Both Non Birding Bill's family and my family will be there. Also, during all of this, I need to work on a deadline looming for MN Audubon.
Please, please, Forces of Nature, do not let me get any disfiguring stings this week before we go on stage or tv!
Incidentally, any readers who are planning on coming to see Play on Birds in Ohio, you will need to get there early, the seating is first come/first serve. There's no ticket fee and space maybe limited. This will be a rare chance to see Non Birding Bill. It really is a funny show and is one of my favorite things to perform, I love, LOVE performing with NBB.
I have to give a big thank you to the Wild Birds Unlimited in Cleveland, they are loaning us some of their feeders to use during our Four Stages of Squirrel sketch--I'm so relieved we don't have to take those props with us on the plane.
So, off to do some rehearsing and for some relaxation, I present a video of Cinnamon's nose. We went to the park for the first time since last fall and boy was her nose wigglin' taking in all the scents! The video is about a minute long:

A very cute nose!
Do I hear someone (NBB?) saying "good dog" at 18 seconds into the video? Is there some species confustion?
That sure does sound like NBB saying "Good dog." I think he was keeping an eye on nearby dog walkers. There was a lady nearby with a Jack Russell who kept talking on her cell phone and barely walking the dog.
Wow. Busy week. Hopefully your trip to Cleveland won't be too painful. I've talked up you and the blog to some of the "regulars" on the Audobon Sunday Morning Walks at the NAture Center where the festival takes place. The Nature Center is a pretty fun place to bird, and we've been seeing some cool stuff. Check out a couple pics at http://flickr.com/photos/guildoo/ .We'll be nice, and I hope the week goes well.
Unsuspecting Birder, you rock! Thank you so much for the promotion!
I really am looking forward to visiting Cleveland, I think the bee arrival has me a little high strung (or should I say high stung?) this week. It will be good for me to be out of town after I put them in the hive, they need to be left along for 7 - 10 days after accepting the hives.
Can't wait to meet you there.
Can it be ... No!... that she is... just a little bit... approving?
