Simple Pleasures

Simple Pleasures

Sometimes the simplest things give us the greatest pleasure... Bees like to maintain a constant temperature of around 32 - 36˚C in their hive*. In an ideal world, I'd like that too! Last winter I failed miserably... we opened the roller door and slowly froze every day (apart from the 6 weeks that I naively turned on 4 oil heaters and ended up with a $3000 electricity bill). This year I decided that we weren't opening the door in winter and had a small banner made so that customers still knew we were open and to use the side door. I was then told that I couldn't affix anything permanent to the outside of the building to hang the banner from. My temporary measure (hanging it between two chairs!!) resulted in 5 phone calls on Saturday from customers who had come by and thought we were shut... "your rolled door was down"! I racked my brain all weekend (and brainstormed the issue with my friends at the hardware store) and today I solved the problem. Ta da! Sometimes it is the smallest things with running Queen B that give me the greatest pleasure.
