Spring Blooms

 

Our weather continues to go up and down, but the spring flowers are either blooming or about to bloom.  The herb garden is waking up from it's winter slumber.  Although we had a 73 degree day early this week, it went quickly back to 36°F and very windy.  I am sure my blooms are struggling with  29°F weather.

And for a bit of foraging . . .

Wild violets.  Dandelions are coming up too.

Have fun at Goodwill! I drop off more now than I take out. I've found some lovely pieces over the years. Do color some eggs, we still do although not many. It is a nice tradition and a welcome harbinger of springtime and rebirth. I hope that it cheers you. It is so easy for us to get bogged down isn't it. You have always inspired us with your beautiful photographs, and farmhouse worthy recipes and healthy lifestyle, you've got this Kristina! Happy Easter!
Oh I like that orange flower. Love all the flowers and their colors! Yea! Spring is here!!! 🌺🪻
Faith, thank you for that cheer squad pep talk (insert smiley face). I do get bogged down that is for sure. Thank you for all those nice compliments too. :) Happy Easter.

Question

  I have asked this before, but I know I follow a few writers who have written (and published) novels.  What is the best free or best least expensive (simple like Word) writing software to use that is not Google Docs? Thanks! I'll be back with an update soon I hope.  But I do appreciate your help, because I cannot find the information some of you suggested.

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.

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...

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
