Timmy Goes to the Vet

This morning's sunrise (view from the front porch) was very warming to watch. It was incredibly peaceful, and a pleasant
way to start the day.




Timmy, one of our barn cats, has been looking a bit beat up lately.  After several attempts to bring him in for healing, I took him to the vet.  It appears that he either got into a fight, or hurt himself.  He has a gash above his eyes.  Then over this past weekend his eyes starting swelling shut.


He had an infection and a fever along with it.  He's on a round of antibiotics for a week, and we pray they heal him.   He's not happy to be in a dog kennel, but he is resting and getting better.
 We got more snow last night and will get more today.  Then temps dip to the negatives again.  One kiddo is home sick, and I now have laryngitis.  Ha, of all things. 

  In the mean time I am still working the clutter out of the house bit by bit.  

I have a stack of books from the library yet, and have not finished my current book.  Last year I read a total of 10 books.  Years prior to that I used to read 100.  That's how much time was taken away from making handicrafts.

Tonight, after Hubby arrives home from work, we are splitting wood again - teamwork.

Get well soon Timmy - sounds like he's been in a bit of a fight!
I imagine he's not liking being cooped up in a dog kennel at all.

Question

  I have asked this before, but I know I follow a few writers who have written (and published) novels.  What is the best free or best least expensive (simple like Word) writing software to use that is not Google Docs? Thanks! I'll be back with an update soon I hope.  But I do appreciate your help, because I cannot find the information some of you suggested.

Horsetail Salve ~ A "first" this Year

We purchased some horsetail salve to try last year.  It is said to help with severely dry, cracked skin.  My husband was the first to try it, with very, very dry and cracked hands from work. He loves it!  He joked I could not have it back.   I started the infused, horsetail oil the last part of March. Something I learned:   horsetail is also called shavegrass. I infused horsetail in oil, and strained it.  I then made horsetail salve.  I remembered to label my jar with what oil(s) I used, so I can journal this all in my "Herbal Remedies" journal.  I often forget to write the oil used. Now, the one we bought, has more in it than I put in ours, as far as ingredients (the purchased salve had lanolin, and aloe).  We'll see if ours works just as good.  I added the sage essential oil, and vitamin E oil. A "first" time experience for us this year.    I bought the larger tins at a seed store in an Amish area last year.  They a...

Chit Chat

  The pickings are slim right now, but we'll take anything we are blessed with.  I made a salad and cleaned the beans.  The rain will give us more for a meal in a day or so.  The green beans are every so slowly coming on this season. I made a batch of homemade granola, and instead of my homemade vanilla extract, I used my homemade Christmas Spice Extract.  It smelled so good in the oven, and while cooling.   I picked some purslane, and am doing an experiment with it this time.  Update soon.   Chit Chat ©  August 2026 by Kristina at Pioneer Woman at Heart
