A package arrived at my doorstep yesterday morning, and inside it was this:
A jar of honey from the bees that work the garden of my sweet friends Margene and Smith, in Salt Lake City, Utah.
A more meaningful and thoughtful gift I cannot imagine. I can't wait to have some in my pre-run breakfast drink this morning -- sweet and natural fuel for my run from across the miles.
Thank you, my dear Margene and Smith!
Sweet! How very, very sweet of them. :)

You're going to love it! REAL honey is the best!
My brother keeps bees. He keeps me supplied with honey - a gallon at a time. Sweet gold!

That's awesome! I love reading about Margene and Smith's adventures in the garden, with the chickens, etc. Beekeeping is something I'd like to try someday - the results are magic!

Is it OK if I am a wee bit jealous? I wonder if I can have bees in Quincy, but my gut feeling is no.

Wow! Lucky you to have such a thoughtful friend (and good packager - the jar didn't break in the post!) My friend brought me a small jar of honey and walnuts when she returned from a visit to Greece - apparently a delicacy. I've made it since with home grown, domestic honey & walnuts ... just put the nuts in a small jar, cover with honey, & let them sit awhile to blend flavors. Great over ice cream or in yogurt. Enjoy!

Mmmmm. Yes, indeed, the sweetness of the flowers and sun, and hard work by the wonderful bees. :^)
