Elna Krause died on March 2, 2010, yet her story continues to live on
Elna Krause didn’t want medicine. She didn’t want someone looking after her. Or anyone feeling sorry for her. It’s not the way life should be lived.
“She just wanted to leave this place the same way she was when she was younger: happy,” her son, Curtis, said.

What do you know today's New York Times has a great article about low cost recipes. They are easy and filling and I can tell just by looking at them that they would be tasty. Some condiments like balsamic vinegar or hot pepper sauce might be a nice touch if you want more zing.

Here is the big question for today's post: Can a family on a low cost food budget afford to eat good food?

My 5 hives have come out of winter healthy which leads me to the next obvious question: Why did I lose my two hives last year, and, this year, have my 5 hives all survive?
