Sunrise ~ Back to the Vet ~ The Melt



The start of this morning's sunrise was beautiful.  After taking this photo it clouded over and was completely gray outside.  I was thankful to capture the moment to share.

Timmy, our black barn cat, came to the door sick again. This time his face was so full fluid he looked worse than the first time he was sick, and treated.  His eye is almost shut, and his face is swelled with infection.  Son is taking him to the vet for me.   He is so sick that after he gets a drink of water, he goes right back into the dog kennel and lays down vs. trying to go outside.  
Yesterday the temperatures went up to the low 50's, and the snow melted again.  This is the side door to my house, and you can see that there is about 1 1/2 to 2 inches of water where we park the cars.  Sassy wanted to be in the photo too, ha ha!  This morning thankfully, it has dried up.  However, the forecast last night, is calling for lots of heavy snow tomorrow (6-8 inches possible).  

Speaking of wacky weather, Hubby feels my "sickness" is a very bad allergic reaction to slinging hay, and ingesting a load of hay dust in the farmer's barn.  I took an allergy medication last night, and my cough diminished almost completely.  I can only hope he is right, and I can kick this quickly.

I'm glad you caught that sunrise too, it's beautiful! :)
My hubby sometimes wears a household dust mask to help with his allergies, it does help him.

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

New Recipe Tried and other Bits

  I tried a new granola recipe and boy it's good.  First, it's a recipe from Mennonite Girls and Cook, and called "Backpack Snacks" online.  It calls for granola, so I used my homemade granola that we love.  Picture is the dry ingredients. Second, I pressed the final mixture into a 9 x 9, parchment lined baking dish instead of rolling it into balls.  The color of these photos are all different, because of the time of day, and how dark the house was from the thick Canadian smoke that was still outside at the time. These cut very nicely, and were very good, straight from the refrigerator.  It was hard to eat just one of them.  I will be making this again, and switching out the peanuts with walnuts, and switching out the raisins with dates.  Oh my!  The binder is honey and peanut butter. These are perfect for your hiking days, camping, your grandkids, or just for snacks when you want one. The rain arrived thank goodness, and washed the smoke in...
