Secret life of bees....

Spencer will probably kill me for posting this but it's just too hilarious not too....so he rented an aerator last weekend to prepare the lawn for seeding this fall and everything was going well until he ran into a ground-bee hive across our creek. After being stung (four times), he left the aerator running and took off, but then had to decide how he was going to get this running machine out of a swarm of bees. This outfit is what he came up with: running tights, jeans (with duck tape around the ankles!), two tucked-in hooded sweatshirts, gardening gloves, a bandana, and a pair of chemistry goggles. It worked, and entertained Claire and I from the deck in the process....here is the evidence:

Ready, set, GOOOOO....

Trust me, he was moving!! So glad a couple of neighbors were able to witness this as well!
