Bearing gifts

Yesterday, as we were playing in the garden during the few minutes of dry-ish weather, GRITS came around the corner with his arm outstreched, saying, "MamA, this is for you!" "Uh..., put it on the ground, please." It was a bee! It was a bee, quite alive, struggling to get out of GRITS' grip! Thankfully, he wasn't stung. It looks as though he may be a bee charmer, so maybe he'll follow the great Ethiopian tradition of apiculture. Yum, honey!
