It was a good apple year in England, California and especially Maine, where a sunny spring favored bee activity. Poland's yield, on the other hand, was down because of cold spring weather. An Easter freeze also marred the harvest in much of the U.S. Southeast, especially Tennessee, where the crop was pitiful.

At the end of spring planting season I often think of the poem by Louise Bogan titled "Women," which begins, "Women have no wilderness in them, /They are provident instead."

"House proud" is a nice, old-fashioned phrase. It describes the feeling you have when everything is reasonably clean and in order. It reflects the fact that while we all may befoul our nests to some degree, we like visitors to feel comfortable and welcomed when they walk through our door, not assaulted by our mess.
