Indoor sports: weaving a blanket, this one for one of my wee grandchildren ❤️
Summer's winding down, at least the intense harvesting part (other than allll the apples). Think I'm done with cherry tomatoes in general, need to find a nice medium sized red next year. Nice first year harvest of skullcap and hops and just enough green beans left for my lunch. In the garden for fall: Italian dandelion greens, bok choi, arugula, purslane, mizuna, miner's, carrots, collards, beets, snow peas....
Boo boo salve for the year, made with calendula, plantain, and yarrow with lemongrass and lavender essential oils. Such a rich green color and scent! And yeah last year I named it "wound salve" to make it more man-friendly 😅 but females seem to use, appreciate, and set the healthy living tone in my area and they and their kids love the "boo boo" 😁 My recipe is simple: 1 cup infused herbal oil to 1 oz beeswax (and 6-10 drops of eo per ounce so it's light enough for the littles among us). And. I added (I hope) a different wallet so IF I did things right I should be zappable and zappalotable. I guess we'll find out! #herbalist image
