Life is Buzzin'
OMG! It is May 5th and I haven't done a post yet! I am sooo sorry! I am still alive and kicking!
Fortunately, I have been so busy that I could not stress out (well, not much!) about freezing temperatures, too much rain and the lack of planting time. So here it is .... May 5th ... and I am looking at 5500 plugs that need to go into the ground. Yikes!
So wanna know why I have been so busy???
Yep ..... it is the amazing, energetic, whirlwind of a gal ........ Zan Asha!
Started out a month or so ago ......... Maggie emailed me and said Zan wanted to bring her bee show on the road to Iowa. Prairieland Herbs was going to be her first stop and wondered if Miss Eff's could be the second. Two seconds! Two seconds! It took two seconds to decide ..... YES!!!!
So Maggie and John forced me to do the beekeeper hand-off at Stringtown Grocery in Kolona. Yea. Ya know I avoid that place! ;) And I think Zan and I talked for the next 48 hours straight!!!!
I'll do a quick wrap up of her trip on the east coast of Iowa!
First, a beekeeping class at Vander Veer Botanical center in Davenport. Hi, Judy!!! Yep ... that's Judy from the blog, My Freezer is Full.
I am certain everyone enjoyed the class! And boy, did we learn a ton! And although, we won't be seeing bees this year at Miss Eff's..... they will be coming to a flower farm near me in 2012!
The next day flew by! First Zan got her woolie-on by stopping at Crosswinds Farm for lamb lovin'!
OK -- another lamb pic ... cuz they are soooooo cute!!!!!

A little junkin' .... a great lunch ..... a little more junkin' and we were off again for a cooking with honey class!
(No ... not my Honey! He has gotten to be a much better cook ... but I'm pretty certain he isn't going to get up and teach a class!)
A totally fun class!!! And she brought New York style to the class with a top notch show of pyrotechnics! Yep ... nothing like exploding sesame seeds to make a class a total hit!!!!!! And the food was great too!
Yesterday ... it was time to say so long.... but not goodbye. Zan is walking around New York with a little piece of Iowa with her. We loved having her here..... and she better know .... she is ALWAYS welcome at Miss Eff's B and B!!!
Love ya, Zan!!!!!

Oh....and String Town...dangerous place. Good but dangerous. I love the fragrances from the cool storage room in the back...is that weird?
I must say, having chickens in the downstairs bath is a great motivator. It was so much fun meeting you in person.
Judy
Anytime .... you are welcome anytime.
