Tuesday Tidbits

Before more morning fog rolled in Tuesday morning.  Pretty too.

I'm using a new method of natural remedy for my bite.  Still not sure what it was or where it happened, but the new method is working good.  I'll post what I did if it heals as fast as I as told.

I armed Hubby with wasp spray last night, and made sure doors were open so he could run in if he had too (last time he ran in a wasp followed him in).  We are hoping this kills them all off and we can start working on the old truck.

It's been difficult to locate hot banana peppers.  Even at local produce stands.   They are never sold in the stores either Tomatoes are slime pickin's too.  It's just limited almost everywhere due to the weather here.

I didn't get my homemade laundry detergent made yesterday, so it's first on today's list.

Hi Kristina glad your bite is healing,those wasps are nasty.
Hope you got time today to make your detergent xx

Kristina, spider bites can be infected from the spider’s venom so if it gets bigger, changes color or just persists see a doctor please.
Mary, thanks. It's already reduced in size after using plantain to pull out any poison. Don't worry. My family is keeping an eye on it too, ha ha! However, this new herbal topical method has reduced the wound even more than using plantain.

Wasps have been bad this year - seems like the only thing flourishing in this weather. Given your sensitivity to stings, please take care!
Thanks Susan, it was Hubby who got stung, and now I gotta tell him there is a nest in the hinge of his old truck. Urgh.

Oh I’m so glad. A friend in the Pacific NW got a spider bite staying with her son to help him settle in when he moved into a rental house, and she got hit by one of those recluse spiders, within a week her ankle had turned blackish purple and she had to be hospitalized. So I’m relieved to know you are well, because my imagination went into overdrive after reading about your bite.

Oh if I dare walk outside the house in the evening I have bites all over me. Darn mosquitos! No type of bug repellent seems to help either. I pray that it will ease up soon.
Mary I have a recluse scar, so I'm totally and sadly familiar with those spiders. I had to go through 3 doctors before they believed me, and it got bad, but no hospital thankfully.
Carol, yes those mosquitoes are bad this year here 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 . . .
