“Joseph” is one of my favorite musicals and I have had the pleasure of acting, singing, and dancing previously in it before (The Little Theatre of Winston-Salem and the Davie Theatre Company).

The Biblical saga of Joseph and his coat of many colors comes to life in this vibrant family musical. Sold into slavery by his jealous brothers, Joseph perseveres and, using wit and faith, rises to become Pharaoh’s second-in-command. Featuring unforgettable songs such as “Any Dream Will Do,” “Jacob and Sons” and “Close Every Door,” this delightful musical parable is one of the most enduring shows of all time. 

Feeding Honeybees in January

It was a perfect January day in the mountains to inspect and feed the bees with temperatures in the high fifties. I was happy to see the number of bees in the hive and that this new location seems to suit them. Not out of the woods yet but spring is just around the corner. Colder weather returns for the weekend.

Honeybees on Christmas Day

Happiness is seeing winter honeybees darting outside this hive  for a cleansing flight on this Christmas day.  Since the day was warm, a little light housekeeping was also in order for the beekeeper and the bees.

Spencer the Siamese Cat, 2000-2016

Celebrating this wonderful creature named Spencer who has brought me so much joy for over the past sixteen years. It was hard to let him go. His meow and strong loving purr and playful antics will be dearly missed. Be at peace my precious dear little one.
