A BEE KEEPER'S CHRISTMAS

Meet Joy Stinger . . .

naturalist, artist, gardener,

collector and master bee keeper.

(10 bee hives with 30 frames!)

Joy lives in the city, farms her backyard,

raises chickens, rabbits, doves, dogs

and ships her delicious honey nationwide.

(And yes, that's her real name!)

At 80 years young,

Joy hasn't slowed down 

and now does yoga and pilates

to stay strong.

She loves to decorate her house

for Christmas, and has many

antique ornaments and figurines.

I love to stop by and wish Joy Stinger

a Merry Christmas, and see how

she's decorated her house for the holidays.

(And yes, I picked up a jar of her

wonderful honey.)

Such a remarkable woman.

And good friend.
