Another Brief(?) Diapause, Friday the 13th Edition

My Hubs made a Friday 13th meme with my cat Damien

I have not totally accepted defeat for this art challenge I imposed on myself, but I have fallen hopelessly behind at this point to where I can't make up the days because there are too many! My hubs and I have been searching every avenue to make the Maine farm a reality, house hunting around FL as a back-up plan, and I need to make more cats for the shop because we need to boost our income.

She works in a greenhouse and when asked via email what insect first came to mind, she wrote: "I think of BEES because I have been working in beeswax and I love what bees do and produce. Also, my coworker and I made a "Bee Spa" for all the fuzzy bumble bees that pass out on the ground (I think the colder temps make them sluggish?)...and we also have a "Bee Necropolis" where we lovingly put all the bees that have died." I was intrigued by both ideas - the spa and the necropolis, but decided I might have a better chance at depicting the spa. I asked AS what the Bee Spa looked like: "...[it] is a selection of lovely cut flowers with pollen offerings plus potted plants in a protected area where the bumbles will not be disturbed a...
