Title: Here's to you all,
Post by: efmesch on December 31, 2013, 12:43:15 pm
Glad to join up in a forum with a lot of experts who know what they're talking about----and it looks like they fit together, hand in glove.
Well, I'm extending my ungloved hand to say "Hello" to you all from Israel, the original Land of Milk and Honey.
Gosh, your hands feel so warm and welcoming.  Good to be here with you.
Here in Israel the bees are taking it easy, enjoying the rains we've been finally receiving after a long dry summer.  Hopefully the rains will be spread out and last till late in April so that we can enjoy a nice honey crop.
I'll be looking forward to reading a lot of good advice on this forum.

Shalom Ef!  You are so very welcome here.  It feels more complete now.   This looks like as good as any place to share my favorite photo of you and I upon Herodium in the Judean desert.  Remember, you found a shekel under my camera on the wall after taking the auto pictures?  I gave it to my youngest daughter.

Thanks to all of you, friends,  your greetings make me blush.  Glad to be back with all of those who I know and glad to meet all the new faces.  I thought a change of my hat was overdue.

It might take me a while to figure out who those of you who changed names are, but it will come in time.

Ef, from the Holy Land, you are so welcome my friend.  Your experience and knowledge of entomology are beneficial to most of us, and you present information with a touch of humor.  I still remember someone optimistically saying their cup was always half full, and you replied "my cup runneth over."  As the youngsters say, "you're a cool guy."
