Description
There is a fascinating shop in Rockledge, Florida. It is named Mrs. Mango and Company. It is in an old worn building on U.S. 1. I met, the owner, Anneke at a support group for multiple sclerosis. Anneke is a Master Herbalist, holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Holistic Healthcare and is a Certified Nutritional Consultant, caring for people and animals for decades. She thought that she might be able to help me be a bit more comfortable with some of my symptoms.
She had all kinds of herbs and preparations of various sorts. She offered me a cup of herbal tea and a windmill cookie. It was such a nice warm atmosphere.
I told her that I was an artist and a photographer. She suggested that I go out in the back yard to look at her pigs and chickens. This painting is of her rooster. I loved his colors.
While I was photographing her animals and wandering around her yard among the tree, her bee keeper offered to let me watch him collect some honey.
I jumped at the opportunity. While I was up close and personal to the bee hive, I accidentally swung my long hair across their hive. They swarmed me and stung me quite a bit. Bee-sting therapy didn't seem to help me. Sigh.
