After checking my hives on Monday I could not stop thinking about the Queen Elena hive. It is my newest and smallest colony, named after our Russian friend Elena, as the queen in residence is a Russian queen. When I had looked inside earlier in the week I’d perceived something to be amiss but could […]
Staring at all this fresh, pure, local, and I do mean local, amber-colored, delectable honey sitting on my dining table for the last week inspired me to find a recipe that uses honey. I wanted something simple so I decided on a “dip”. I also found myself with fresh strawberries, blueberries, melons, cherries and some […]

Today was busy, busy. My adoring husband and I were both doing chores at home that consumed the majority of our morning and trailed into the afternoon. When we finally stopped and decided we needed food we settled on BBQ. We decided to go to Sonny Bryan’s original BBQ joint, a long time establishment in […]
