These are so delicious and I believe part of its good taste comes from the beautiful and yummy honey I used  ......

The Neary Apiary as in Karen Neary's bees.  

Simple to make with minimal ingredients that are healthy 

 Did I mention they are delicious. I think this will be the key snack food in my refrigerator this summer.

Speaking of summer some signs are evident in the back yard that it is coming   

The pool was filled and hubby is busy cleaning, purifying  and heating the water.  

The Adirondack chairs are out, the lawn grows like crazy with all the rain we have had, the black flies are out with a vengeance, and the smell of Bar-B-Q is the aroma all over the neighborhood. 

 and to add to a happy day.....  I've got mail

 from Kimberly Jolly... Yes! that's right  Fat Quarter Shop
