Subject: QOTD for Saturday. May 28, 2022. From “Go Tell The Bees That I Am Gone”


Chapter 13
“WHAT IS NOT GOOD FOR THE SWARM IS NOT GOOD FOR THE BEE”
(Marcus Aurelius)

Fraser’s Ridge, North Carolina


“It does?” I had some vague notion that the Bible might include some mention of bees—perhaps John Quincy’s blessing came from the Psalms or something? “Er . . . Brianna said that I should come and . . . . . bless the bees.”

“Fine-lookin’ woman, your daughter,” Meyers said, shaking his head on admiration. “Seen precious few woman that size, and none of ‘‘em what you’d call handsome. All pretty lively, though. How did she come to wed a preacher? You wouldn’t think a praying’ man would be able to do right by her — I mean, in the ways of the flesh, as you might—“

“The bees,” I said somewhat louder. “Do you know what I should be saying to them?”




Ever since he casually dropped his drawers to show Claire his hernia, I love when he shows up. A man totally comfortable with “the ways of the flesh”.
