Sweet thang

John is not feeling well today. We are not sure if it is allergies or a cold. The weather has been unpredictable here. It can start out 35 degrees and by 8:00 at night it is 70 degrees. We have heard about a natural remedy for seasonal pollen allergies. You take a spoonful of LOCAL honey everyday and after about a month or so your allergy symptoms go away. The idea is that bees go around and collect the pollen, then make honey and when you ingest the honey you build up immunities to the pollen. Sounded good to me. So I put the theory to the test a couple of years ago and drank a glass of tea every morning with a spoonful of honey added. I can tell you IT WORKED! So my sweet John is adding a little more sweetness to his morning these days. If it is allergies we are dealing with alleviation is round the bend (in a month). ;o)

  1. glad it's working for you! we do the same thing, it seems to alleviate the symptoms some, if not completely. and now i just like the taste much better than "regular" honey, I won't even go back.

  2. oh, and I feel the same way today as John. I said the same thing to Derrick, "not sure if it's a cold or allergies." but it definitely feels like allergies, so I'm pretty sure that's what it is.
