Our youngest daughter's medication was pretty strong, but did not break up the phlegm for her either. The tea I mentioned earlier worked like a charm for her, and she admitted to feeling much better in 2 days of drinking it. She actually came downstairs and asked me to make it again.
I took some plantain leaves and aloe, and made up some sunburn relief to have on hand. We typically do not get burned, but sometimes it happens. I wanted to give this a try and see how well it works.
Just cut up 1/2 cup of plantain leaves and run it through a food processor with 1/2 cup aloe. Strain, squeeze and pour into ice cube trays.
Porch time came to a halt about 3pm. The farmer started spraying his poison in the worst wind of the day, and it was blowing directly towards our place (grr!). You'd think he'd use common courtesy and spray that garbage later when the wind lets up. Good thing we were leaving.
We drove up to see the kids new apartment. They made dinner for us - organic boxed mac n' cheese. We brought along some watermelon too. We got to see all 3 dogs. Funny how things work out, but our "Vet Tech in training" daughter's car wouldn't start so Hubby helped her with that. She'll be buying a new battery today, and she'll not be paying us what she owes on her phone bill. It'll be interesting if she catches up on the bill. As for our 18, almost 19 year-old, she landed a second job yesterday. Good for her.
When we got home, we sat on the porch, but only for a few minutes. The farmer was still spraying and it was blowing once again towards us. Sigh...
Rain arrives today. It'll be indoor work today. Have a wonderful weekend.
