Yes, we have bees to pollinate our fruit trees. But while we generally avoid alcohol during the week, we have a ritual of drinking a martini on Saturday evenings after the farmers’ market. Yet drinking and parenting don’t always mix. So Bob took the girls outside, showed them how to pollinate with a paintbrush, then set them loose to pollinate every blossom on the property. We got to enjoy the show at a happy distance from our porch, cocktail glasses in hand.
