A couple posts ago I talked about my visit with my friends in Sacramento. I didn’t, however, talk about the artistic ambiance of their house. It’s the house of an artist and a musician, so you can imagine the creative feel. There is artwork on the walls, West African drums of all shapes and sizes lining the entryway and spilling out onto the porch, baskets of yarn, colored pencils and of course good music playing in the background. Unfortunately I didn’t get many pictures of their house but I did let their 7 year old daughter (a very creative little girl) snap some pictures.
She also went around catching some fun pictures of all of us.

She was being the little director telling us how to pose, I think she did a pretty good job.
After this little photo shoot she took me outside to show me the backyard. There were vegetable gardens, chickens, and bees! They have their own bees to collect honey. I stood right in front of the bee hives with my camera, assuming that the bees are probably used to people and that I would be all right, but my little friend politely said, “I wouldn’t stand there, your gonna get stung.” Whoops, I quickly moved away from the hives and then noticed a bee on my shoulder. I asked her what I should do and if it’ll fly away if I leave it alone, and she nonchalantly said, “no, it’s butt is down so it’s probably gonna sting you.” It didn’t though, thankfully, but I didn’t get any bee pictures either.
She’s offering you some fresh peas from her garden, go ahead and take some.
