More Short Stories Coming SOON!

Sarah's grandfather, Fred, is known as "Beeman" - he is the local beekeeper in Putney - Peagarden Park - for the Community Gardeners - without him - well his bees do all the work!  but Fred does know how to keep those bees Happy!

He has recently take on an apprentice - Tom.  Tom is the baker's son; their bakery "A Taste of Honey" is famous for their honey pastries.  Fred decided it was about time to train another beekeeper for the gardeners.

The Community Gardeners meet for breakfast on Saturday mornings at the "Skillet" - topic for next Saturday is "Bugs" - and "Companion Planting".  Yes this does mean getting out of bed to be there by 7:30 AM - but the food is good and the "bantering" as to who will grow the largest pumpkin this year has already started!  

And they are getting ready to plan their annual Road Trip(s)!  Voting for places to visit will take also take place this Saturday!  

Oh, yes these days I am residing at the Grand Moor Inn and Bear and Sand Cat are with me - and during the day we are hanging out in - a tent - on the new Lot - at 1919 Joplin Street; so drop by or drop us a line or send us an e-mail "sandyspantry@yahoo.com"

Feeling young again on such a fine spring day and meeting Sarah!

"I'm just out having fun, been wandering around Putney with a Tour Guide, Amy and I made a new "little" friend today, her name is Sarah, she is in the 7th grade and we met at the park. 

I was sitting on a park bench, just resting after all the walking with Amy; and then I spied Sarah, tip-toeing her way down to the small reflecting pond.  In the blink of an eye, she slipped out of her shoes, rolled up her tights and gently lifted up her skirt and started wading in the pond.  

She didn't see me at first, when she did she blushed and then motioned with her hand for me to come and join her.  

What the heck, we're only young once - so I joined her....."

Here is a photo of her at the reflecting pool....you’d never know what we’d been up to earlier, would you?

PS - So much has happened since my last post about the Asian Hooded Crane, thank you all for your  e-mails, pictures and videos of our feathered friend.....he really puts on quite a show.

I  hope he finds his love soon!
