Honey of a Day

I was up most of the night with a sinus headache; but by morning, when my hubby kissed me good bye, all was well!   He left at 4:30am; I had hoped to get up, but couldn't move, as I heard a torrential downpour, begin.    I woke up again, thought I was dreaming, a man in uniform walked past me.  It was 8am and it was my husband, back from his command.  He is done today, starts at a new command tomorrow.   I didn't expect him home so soon, but he had said, his farewells and received his handshakes, awards and left.    We then celebrated and went and grabbed celebratory coffee and went to the Farmer's market.  I was going to take my camera, but it was still raining.   I took these pics, when I returned home.  Next time, I will take my camera;  She sells herbs, plants, sometimes trees, and lots of produce at this small stand.  Today, she gave me a basket, usually she will give me a random gift to try, last year a seedless, yellow watermelon.
She is a gem; I need to give her a gift, next time I visit!  Maybe some bread; She also sells amazing jams, jellies and pickles.

I saw the honey and had to buy it, I don't eat it very often, but it looked so yummy~

Look at these jewels, aren't these black berries, pretty!   I bought stuff for a stir fry and guacamole.  Also a few items for an experiment, which I will post about tomorrow~   It involves the Food Network and a summer dessert, that I am going to turn savory.   

After the rain, we had a guest visit us.  I took it as a sign to slow down and appreciate the rare time, with my family,even our son had today off.     This is the biggest turtle so far this year. My son said, when he was little, he wanted a turtle and a house with a green door.  We have many turtles in our yard and our door is green!

There is magic in those slow,down days that are rare and sweet like the honey~
