Sweet as Honey

While we were in Milton my sisinlaw Cheryl arranged for us all to go learn about bees from some of her friends who have their own hives.  It was amazing and delicious- we got to eat honey straight from the comb. 

You just pull some of the waxy comb off and pop the whole drippy sticky thing in your mouth and then spit out the chewed wax when you're done.  The complexity and beauty of how bees work will blow your mind- and point again to a Designer and Creator- one who would think up such a thing as delightful as honey!

"More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb." Psalm 19:10

 "How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!"  Psalm 119:103

This sweet young lady with gorgeous "Anne of Green Gables-carrot" hair, showed us her pet bunny.  The bunny was a bit terrified, but I must say it was the softest bunny I've ever felt.  They also keep goats and let us taste cold goats milk.  I had heard it was goatey tasting but it wasn't.  It was just as delicious as cow's milk.  (The mom said they mess it up when they sell it in stores.)

From the bees to the goats and bunnies and tire swings- this was such a fun field trip for the kids, and mommies too!
