HAIL TO THE BEE

I don't usually attend the bee association meetings, actually I don't think I'm even a member. My Manly Man and daughter Rachel are heavily involved in it and help with the booth at the county fair every year.
Last night they had a guest speaker from Whidby Island.His name was Bradford Weeks M.D., hailing from Vermont until 1993.(which is when we moved here from TX).He has extensive background in bee therapy, traveled all over the world studying and learning what other countries have discovered about bee therapy. Most countries are much more open to using bee therapy and much more respectful of the "bee" . He is an M.D. and bee therapy isn't his main focus in his practice .
He needed to catch the ferry after the meeting but I was able to talk to him alittle.I asked him about sting therapy for fibermyalgia and he said that the pressure points were the best place to start, make sure I was always hydrated,and look at my magnesium level..... I'd really like to see him and be evaluated. He treats the whole body not just your symptoms which I feel is what I need.(everyone needs)
Anyway it was very enlightening, cementing my feelings that the bee and honey are to honored and revered.

 I've always had a bird feeder, for years now. They bring alot of joy to me, nature so up close and personal. Now that we don't have any pets, we've loved having our bird feeders up again. We have this one tree out back and we have a little of everything for them. A little bird bath, three feeders and a suet feeder. There's usually ten to twenty birds in the tree at all times. Lots of beautiful finches, lots of yard birds, lots of black birds (who are quite noisy) red wing black birds and yellow headed black birds. We finally identified one that we couldn't figure out and its a Evening Grosbeak. Some come and we never see them again, just passing through. But, it's our little obsession right now, gives me something to do every morning. But, dang those birds are eating us out of house and home!

 chop, chop, chop were the sounds I woke up too yesterday. I've been hearing those sounds alot these last few weeks as my manly man has made hot sauce and salsa galore. But..............this morning it was different. I woke up to a beautiful bowl of tabbouleh...my favorite salad. The combination of the bulgar, parsley, cucumber and tomatoes just tickles my palet. My favorite part this time of the year are the pomegranate seeds, they add such color and flavor.(I really shouldn't be eating it but I chewed extra well ummm) Oooops a jar of grape juice just broke, manly man is canning....be right back. O.K. that's cleaned up and I'm heading out for a long overdue walk. It's a lovely day, blue skies and sun.

all is well

My daughter Becky should be home from the hospital soon, her surgery went well. Next the mourning for what was and will never be again, she had a lot of good cries last night. They weighed the breast and it was seven and a half pounds! I knew it was close to ten. Like she said jokingly she was looking forward to getting "alot off her chest". When I talked to her on the phone this morning I asked her how in the world did she ever get anything done with a two year old and 5mon. old! I did manage to get us all clean and fed by eleven. Is that good? And to think I raised six! Todays is Becky's Abbie's birthday, we hope to go to the movies this afternoon. I guess on the way home from the hospital they are picking up a new kitty for the children. They had promised them one when they moved in to their house, so how wonderful of them to realize what a good time it would be to bring one home. My children are so wise in so many things.Well........baby calls! Happy Day to you a
