Imagine coming upon an old fashioned bee skep perched between cottage blossoms, with honeybees buzzing about to collect the nectar. Well, I once imagined this scene, and now I have reseeded the garden to bloom with foxgloves and cosmos, and two brand new sentiments. Share this one with your sweetest friends! Or just color it up for the sheer joy of it.
