Honey @ MindSay 
recipe

So what shall I do?? I drink a lot of tea with honey. Today I chose a nice rich Darjeeling loose leaf.
I loved how this looked when I set it down to grab something. I had to take a picture.
And because I haven't loaded a picture of cute things...
Aww. Kittahs!
Well gotta head out.
Just in case the bees don't make it maybe we should all stock up on Honey 
Today was shopping day for me. I got some potting soil because I am going to have to move some of the petunias I planted in pots this year. Every single seed seems to have come up and the pots are way too crowded. So I am going to move some out in the yard around the fence or maybe in some bare spots around trees. And I will put more soil in the pots..and still have plenty in there to make my porch look nice.
I also got a new cheap wristwatch. I got a cheap one because it's what I wear when I am doing gardening or housework and it gets wet and banged around so I don't want a really good one for that.
Other than that it was just your normal groceries. I stocked up on flour and sugar. And I bought too many sweets :( Why must they put the pastry section right next to the fruits???? It's just mean!!
end of the evening . . . showered and a close shave . . .
(I got used to shaving just before bed . . . when I was human)
. . . the feeling of settling in bed, under the covers . . . the weight of the sheet and quilt, a comforter if its cool enough and the way the pillow seems to fit just into the right spot . . . there’s the coolness that hits your eyes when the light is turned out, the air seems a bit clearer . . .
and then, let out a breath . . . and listen . . .
(a few hours before . . . I got up . . . checked my email, opened my schedule, focused the mental pictures . . . the jobsite, the people and what the finished work would look like . . . reaching for coffee and socks . . . jeans . . . and my gym bag . . . the rest of the day, beginning, picking up, a bit of momentum . . .)
and then, let out a breath . . . and listen . . .
(missing the sweet fragrance of sex and scent, the trace of perfume and lotion . . . warm breath directing me to a kiss in the dark and a sweet sweet whisper . . . fingertips and a silent ‘yes’ . . . or even just a kiss goodnight, but the tender curve tucked against my chest . . . taking my arm and tucking it around . . . sharing the pillow . . . and a promise of an intimate early morning . . . that time for us will stand still . . . but for now, rest)
and listen . . . and still you’re not there . . .

P.S. . . . one more day . . .
Dark honey, like dark chocolate, can be a better source of health-protecting antioxidants than lighter-color counterparts. Here's why dark honey is different. (see below ↓)
In a study of Spanish honey varieties, researchers looked at three honey groups: floral (the lightest shade of honey tested -- bees make it from the nectar of blossoms); honeydew (the darkest tested -- bees make
| it from sugary substances that insects leave on trees and plants); and blends (in-between shades of honey made from a combo of floral and honeydew). The dark honey showed the greatest potential for helping to protect cells from harmful substances (free radicals) that cause aging and disease. |

Researchers suspect the protection comes from the antioxidant-powered phenols and amino acids found in the sticky stuff.

A buffed-up bod can make your brain more "bionic." Exercise actually induces cells to grow in areas of the brain related to memory. Here's how quickly you can expect a brain boost from your workout. (see below ↓)
In a study, people's performances on a memory test improved after completing a 3-month aerobic-exercise program.
| But physical exercise isn't the only fast track to a keen intellect. A mental workout helps, too -- whether it's changing something that's part of your daily routine (the route you drive to work, the hand you use to move your mouse, the preset stations on your car radio) or tackling big brain challenges like learning a new language or solving the New York Times crossword puzzle. |
