The month of November I was chosen by Genie of Bunny Eats Design to host “Our Growing Edge”. It is a round up of recipes sent in by bloggers from around the world. A wonderful way to share and get to know other bloggers, we all have a common interest – do we not? All month I’ll […]
Chilly fall temperatures turned to bone chilling temperatures this past weekend in the Carolinas. Weather fit for a glass of Hot Spiced Wine. The aroma, a bouquet of cinnamon, citrus and pepper. The flavor, rousing to the taste buds, sweet, spicy, peppery, smooth, with warm citrus notes. It goes down easily and might lure you into multiple […]
Now that the new site is up I feel so overwhelmed with playing catch up! I hate this feeling. Can’t focus, want to snack, do not need to snack. Feeling concern over whether or not I’m going about it correctly. I am not a genius when it comes to working with the computer and I spend what […]
Today is the day! Grab a cup of coffee and stay awhile because, if you are here, you are visiting my new site “The Orange Bee”. I have wanted to accomplish this for a couple of years but life kept getting in the way and I wasn’t sure why I needed a new and improved […]

Do you know that those beautiful, colorful flowers you are bringing home from your local nursery or big box store could be killing bees that might venture into your yard or garden at an alarming rate? Much research has been done lately regarding a class of agricultural pesticide named neonicotinoids and the general consensus is that […]
Here is a new one for ya’. A recipe using honey that is a hand and body scrub. With summer upon us we need to be sure and wear plenty of sunscreen but also to exfoliate. I don’t know about you, but honestly I love for my body to feel soft and smooth as a baby’s […]
Today I was barefoot in the back yard moving around a few potted plants when I stepped on a bumblebee. I got stung on the bottom of my foot. I knew right away it was a sting! Yeeeouch! The bee was fine as she flew away after she popped me. My backyard has quite a […]
