Thanks, everyone!  ;D  I've got a pretty relaxing day planned.  Going to play on the Xbox with my sister, watch the NASCAR race tonight.  I'm also going to plant some pussie willows for my bees.   
I come from under the hill, and under the hills and over the hills my paths led.  And through the air, I am she that walks unseen.

A bit late, but the same from here.
“Listen to the mustn'ts, child. Listen to the don'ts. Listen to the shouldn'ts, the impossibles, the won'ts. Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me... Anything can happen, child. Anything can be.”

I had a great day!  :)  My mom helped me plant my 3 pussie willow cuttings in the morning.  Here's a picture of one.  We have chicken wire over them to keep the dogs from trampling them while they are little.



The place that sent us the willows also sent us a free bonus cutting of a string of pearls, which my mom potted up for me as a surprise.  Here it is on my windowsill with my Gollum jade and my storm glass.



Then my sister and I played Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime on the Xbox, we watched some Pirates of the Caribbean on TV, and then everyone gave me my cards and presents.  I got Petra Ahnert's book Beeswax Alchemy, some ingredients for making cosmetics, and my sister made me two beautiful bookmarks.


Then we watched the All-Star race, which ended with an extremely controversial caution at the checkered flag.  My mom made Stromboli for supper and my favorite molten chocolate cakes for desert.  Mmmmmm. . . .





And now I am 26!  ;D

But the fun doesn't end there!  It's been a birthday tradition for me the past couple of years to have everyone paint something on one of my bee boxes, so today we're all going out to the garage to paint this afternoon.  I'll post some pictures of everyone's boxes later.

I agree!
Your post about the Pussie Willows reminds me that I rooted some cuttings and need to plant them too!

Here you go!  I painted one of my green boxes with constellations.



My mom has had a theme of 70's pop culture from her childhood going, so she did a Brady Bunch box this year.



Hm, I can't seem to bring up the image hoster anymore on this post.  I'll put the rest on another post.  One moment. . . .

I can't seem to bring up the image hoster, suddenly.  :sad:  It was working a minute ago.  When I click the link nothing happens.  I guess I'll have to post the rest later.  :-X

Hey, there it goes!  ;D

My artist sister did this one.


And we have cowboy stuff, vines, and snakes from the kids.

Perfect! I admit I am kind of jealous... now I am going to have to see who I can coerce into painting stuff on my hive boxes!

Sure, you can drag all your beekeeping equipment along too, and we'll paint it!  If you've got the time, you could stop at Lazy's and bring his boxes too.  :D
