Ramshackle Solid: Beeless
http://www.ramshacklesolid.com/2013/01/beeless.html
Thursday, January 31, 2013. Two weeks ago, we noticed usual activity surrounding the bees. When we went to investigate, we saw our hive was under attack by robber bees. Eric reduced the entrance to the hive. I covered the hive in a sheet. But our measures we no match for the robber bees. Within a day, our six box high hive was an empty shell of the thriving bee metropolis it once was. Posted by Julia Posey. January 31, 2013 at 10:52 PM. I hope you find a new swarm soon.

Ramshackle Solid: Sesame Flax Bars
http://www.ramshacklesolid.com/2009/02/sesame-flax-bars.html
Friday, February 20, 2009. I love the idea of quick nutrition with good food. Real food. And a food that can hold up for awhile knocking around in my purse while out and about helps. Bananas, for instance, don't pass the purse test. Enter the power bar. Thanks to our friend Phoenix's vision, we've been making quite a few power bars in our house as of late. I came up with this recipe as a variation on a theme. Sesame Flax Bar (in homage to the delicious Bumble Bar. 1 cup flax seed. 2 cups sesame seeds.

Ramshackle Solid: Hand Stacked Yard Rubble into Reading Bench
http://www.ramshacklesolid.com/2013/04/hand-stacked-yard-rubble-into-reading.html
Monday, April 15, 2013. Hand Stacked Yard Rubble into Reading Bench. I wanted to plant some Barbecue rosemary ( Rosmarinus officinalis 'Barbecue. A gap between the stairs and wall needed to be retained to make a proper planter bed area. So I followed Eric's lead and built a dry stack wall/reading bench to close the gap. I used yard detritus of broken concrete and brick and carefully selected pieces for balance. I had such respect for his work. Some reminding me of a more rugged Brancusi sculpture. 3 1/2 ...

Ramshackle Solid: Back in Beesness!
http://www.ramshacklesolid.com/2013/02/back-in-beesness.html
Thursday, February 14, 2013. Thanks to a wonderful friend and a recent swarm at her home, we are back in bees! The swarm was captured by Steve of Bee Catchers. And delivered to our door. I was with the dog at the vet. Eric took the bees and dumped them into our hive. He poured them a plateful of honey in the top feeder instead of using sugar water. After almost a week, I'm happy to say the bees are still here. I was watching them leave and return with legs packed with pollen. Posted by Julia Posey. Daily...
