Comments (7)The Black Sea region of Turkey is famous for a bitter honey they call "deli balý," which is honey with various proportions of Azalea nectar (Rhododendron luteum). The really strong stuff has an intense Azalea scent, and after the initial sweet taste, goes bitter in the mouth. It's considered medicinal, and many people swear by a spoon of it every day. If your're not used to it and get too much, it can make your head spin. It also makes your urine very fragrant.... In another vein - I once planted a huge patch of Greek poppies in my Seattle garden. P. rhoeas var. pusillum -- like normal corn poppies but really deep red, with a more dusty colored foliage. The bees went nuts, and several times would bite the stamens, getting (evidently) a mouthful of the sap. They would go completely drunk. I also saw this in Greece; many of the flowers had incapacitated bees weaving around in them; sometimes they would attempt to fly out and couldn't find their way. They'd just go round and round inside the flower......See MoreBusy Busy Busy LOL
Comments (2)Hi Diana, Oh how fun that you are doing the Christmas play. Too cute about the baby already being a star! ;o) If I had all those outfits to make, I'd be in a panic! Glad you are excited about it. Will look forward to seeing pics of your decorations. Remember, even if they are not painted items, you can always post them over here for us to see. Come on by the Holiday forum too, lots of neat Christmas things going on over there. Luvs...See MoreWeek 59: busy, busy, busy!!!!
Comments (35)My electrician (aka hubby) finally got my second pendant hung over the island today!! You may or may not remember when I posted this pic back in September or October Right after I built and installed my temp island. The area looked, quite frankly, somewhat ridiculous. An 8 ft long island with this one lone pendant hanging over one end of it. The reason it was there was because that was an existing box that used to have a fluorescent light box on it. I knew I wanted to put in another box ran off of the first one and install 2 pendants, well, today it finally got done!! Yay!! Not only is it aesthetically pleasing but there is soooo much more light over my island now! Can I just mention again how much I love the smoke colored glass in these pendants? Also, in keeping with our weekly thread "no accomplishment is too small", I tracked down some spare 2x6 and cut blocks to fit in the old window spot. I also got the piece of drywall cut to install. The only reason I haven't yet is because I am thinking of creating a "time capsule" to put in the wall before I close it off. Chances are that spot will be opened again at some point in the future, it is where the MIL quarters and main house meet. Even if I never open it back up, I thought it would be cool to leave a "treasure" there for someone to discover in the future. Tell me truthfully, does that sound really lame or kinda cool?...See MoreBusy, Busy, Busy
