Staying Healthy ~ Tidbits

The recent changes in weather are making one daughter congested - mullein tea to the rescue.  She refuses to take the vinegar (or mullein tincture) So far, just taking the tea, has helped her get better.

Hubby is continuing to take the (Rosemary Gladstar recipe) Four Thieves Vinegar, and it is helping him ward off whatever is trying to take over his body.  The vinegar lasts up to one year, so another jar is already in the making, and as soon as sage and thyme can be harvested, I'll start a few more jars to have on hand. I'll continue to research more remedies as well.


I have several new recipes to try.  Oh boy.  I didn't think I'd get that many right now, but I'll share if they are worth sharing. 



I'm actually glad the craft show bombed.  I am off the hook on preparing more handiwork, and can now focus on more deep cleaning and organizing.  Although, I didn't clean much yesterday.  I spent time in the kitchen.


 Homemade tortillas using real lard.  I had no issues with the dough this time.  I think if your water is too warm you will.  It was perfect this time.  I had lard to use up.


 Cooked up some dry, organic, non-gmo Lima beans for tonight's succatash.  Lima beans are a good source of protein, iron, aids digestion, and more.  It's difficult to find organic lima beans in stores here.  I have to order them online.


Whipped up a batch of zucchini - chocolate chip muffins too.  the kids needed snacks to take to work and school, along with Hubby.  My freezer stash of zucchini is doing pretty well.  


Reading has been about zero.  I'm just don't seem to have the bug to read right now.  My reading mojo has up and left me. I guess it's back to cleaning today.  I'll need the movement to keep warm.  It's colder again, and Hubby was too tired to split wood last night (weather was terrible for it anyway).



Yesterday if poured rain the entire day.  I kid you not.  





It was a swamp.  Then I saw that the weather man said to watch for snow to arrive around 4pm.  



Yes, we here in our neck of the woods, are rolling are eyeballs, sighing, and letting out long winded exhales.  It's not much for snow, but it's an ice rink out there this morning.  However, the sun is shining brightly, and sun makes me happy.

I know some people say spring is their favorite time of year, but I've never felt that way. Just look at all the rain/snow/mud/ice over and over we have to go through to get those relatively few warm, sunshiny, greening-up true spring days! ;o)

I was talking to someone just yesterday who said they always made their tortillas with all lard.
Mama Pea, I still like the einkorn tortillas too. I just needed to use up the lard, but they are so easy to make too.

Apples and Tomatoes Oh My!

  The early morning weather here has been downright chilly.  One morning it was 42 degrees.  Flower beds have been weeded.  The herb garden is next in line, but I do need to figure out what to do with all the rosemary plants I planted in the actual vegetable garden.  I have not mastered keeping them alive all winter indoors.  They will not survive the winter if left outside. Did any of my blog writing followers locate a better "blog" platform online?  Just curious if anyone is moving from blogger. 

Under the Weather ~ What's Growing?

  I have not been around in blogland much, due to being under the weather after I pushed myself way to far one day.  I have to remember we cannot do it all in one day.  Thank goodness for teas and tinctures, and healing foods (and rest).  We are feeling better. As for our blogs being used for advertising on many websites, and so forth (I can't see any other reason for the source of views: howstuffworks, dominospizza, mayoclinic {not the blog readers interested in my actual blog}) the numbers continue to climb.  I have not found a way to "opt" out either.  If any of you find a new way to avoid this, blog elsewhere, find a new platform etc, please be sure to share.   If your blog has ads, you are are not going to complain, ha ha!  You are probably making a bucko-bucks with all these visitors to your blog. Okay, back to the update post . . .

16 Weeks Until Christmas

  It's not hard to believe that we are traveling closer to the winter holidays.  I'm trying to focus on enjoying every single day until then, but I am fitting in a few snippets of holiday preparing.  Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year.  It's hard to believe it's the last day of August. I have not yet gotten rid of the links to all the advertisers using my blog posts, but again, still working on it. However, my profile has gone from my blog, and while I am in settings, it is not able to add as a "gadget" to the blog.  Weird things are happening.   Google had a data breach recently as well, so gmail users were advised to change passwords.  Not sure what else is going on, but just in case you are wondering why my "profile" is not on my blog any longer.   Okay, back to the Christmas countdown post . . .
