Countries, Principalities, and Bees

[tmcg]

Apropos of nothing but how much I suck at geography and how I avoid the G category in Trivial Pursuit as if it were a little blue oval of ebola-anthrax blotter, the drag-and-drop European Geography Level 3.

Apropos of nothing but delight, my blooming spiraea plants continue to attract big, fat, fuzzy, wonderful bumblebees, who go patiently about their work, perturbed by nothing, and make me happy.
