I went to the health store to re-stock my "Thieves" oil. I have it in parenthesis, because they make it themselves and call it something else. Anyway, while I was there I picked up this....
I was told they can't keep enough in stock. It's for sinus infections and sinus related issued. I've used it twice, and it works great. In fact, I think it works better than the salt water nasal spray I have been using.
A good friend told me about Lilac Lemonade. If I get more blossoms after this cold spell (I doubt I will), I want to make some. Has anyone made it and liked it?
We are calling around for English walnut trees. So far, we've found one nursery with 10 foot trees, at $175.00 each. Or we could buy teeny starts and wait years and years. It will take 4-8 years to get our first harvest of nuts, so I'm opting for the larger tree, although more expensive than I expected.
More rain today. It's all good - the peas are up, the radishes are up, the potatoes are up, the chard is up, and the kale is up. It's all good.

I often use canning jars for leftovers in my fridge or to store dry goods. I save used canning lids for this purpose. I have sliced my fingers on the lids at least twice that I can think of. Once while removing a lid from a jar and again while washing one along with my dishes in the kitchen sink. I have been canning for well over 50 years without incident. The cuts occurred within this past year. I don't know if the lids were Ball or Kerr, but I don't suppose it matters as Ball and Kerr are one in the same.
Hi Kristina :) How nice, playing cards on the deck! Alex and I love to play cards too. It doesn't seem to be something people do anymore. I guess some couples prefer to sit in front of each other staring at their smart phones...something we saw a lot of when we went for dinner the other night! Crazy.
Lilac lemonade...we have a lilac tree that is only just now starting to blossom. I'll have to look that up. Maybe I can make some myself.
Vicki, that is strange. This is the first year for any one of us to get cut on the lids. I would write to them and tell them. The more people report it, the better they'll make the lid.
Rain, if you make the lemonade I'd love to know if it's tasty or not.
I've never cut myself on a canning jar lid, but you better believe I'm going to be very careful from now on when around them! Good thing to be aware of. And, like everything else, I'm betting the manufacturing company is cutting corners and making them cheaper . . . maybe using thinner metal and skipping the process of smoothing off the edges. Dang.
Sorry about your cuts - haven't experienced this or heard of anyone else. Checked my drawer, they are all Kerr - I did not know they are the same thing - but why am I not surprised. Lilac lemonade? Will have to give that a try. Snow storm here today! The lilacs are just budding so they are safe.
Mama Pea, I noticed they had sharper edges when I washed the lids. I hope they are not cutting corners.
Debby, the lemonade was delicious.
