Another look at labor.

The end of summer brings a flurry of activity at the Flippist World Headquarters. Some cement repair, final paint touch-ups, composting the tomato plants and generally getting ready for what The Old Farmer’s Almanac says is going to be a long and cold winter.

Maybe.

I’ll let you know how that prediction pans out.

The bumble bees are still hard at work, too. They are gathering pollen while they may, steady workers who never take a break until the sun goes down:

“Fairies with gossamer wings, Bring forth beauty, grace and joyful things. Fairies of the earth are caretakers of our soil, water and trees, They watch over beautiful creatures such as bears, bunnies and bees. Fairies ask that you breathe in and appreciate the vantage point from which you stand, Then trod carefully and respectfully with each intentional step you make across this beautiful land.”
