~Thanks for stoppin' by my blog! About myself, I am a fifteen year old young lady, with the hope of someday becoming a wife and mother while serving the Creator. Old fashioned things, farms, and novels have their place in my world, not to mention Medieval Literature of fair maidens and courageous knights. Beth March, Elizabeth Bennet, Elinor Dashwood, and Miss Georgiana Darcy are some of my heroines. I also live alone with my parents, dog, 5 cats, and around 20 chickens. Walking in the woods, writing the suspense, romance, and historical, playing the piano, reading novels, stargazing, baking, and blogging are some of my hobbies, along with our arrival of our beehive. I enjoy just sitting around and listening to classical musical, symphonies, and good old oldies on podunk radio stations. Enjoy your stay, and don't forget to comment! ~

That was really nice of your friends to give you a bee hive. My Great-Grandma used to keep bees. (I actually think she might still have them but I can't remember. She's in her 80s and she still keeps a garden, chickens, and cows. She's pretty spry. :-D

Oh I adore fall mornings. (I love to open my window before I go to bed at night so when I wake up in the morning i'm nice and cozy in my bed.)
My Grandma is incredibly spry. (she says it's because she uses peroxide in EVERYTHING. She even bathes in it. It must work. :-D) Your Grandma sounds quite healthy as well.
