More Wild Violets and Leaves ~ Asparagus

Dehydrated some wild violets and leaves. However, my 15+ year old smaller dehydrator (for small batch) died on me. Good thing I did not turn it on when I ran out for errands. Sheesh. Any who, I'm already on the job for looking for a new smaller one. I use it often for herb seasonings and small batch items like the violets.

I have also been out in the flower beds, and they are filled with purple dead nettle. I have chickweed too. Hm. Lots of ideas are spinning away.

Ordered a bunch of recipe books from the library (again). I will never learn, ha ha! I'm on the hunt for a specific recipe we would like to have for grill out meals.

Picked the first of our spring asparagus, and boy it feels so refreshing to get something from the garden again.

Aww, fresh asparagus, but local market is selling for $6 a bunch, really skinny stems at that! Guess none to be had any day soon. Too hot here in Georgia to grow!

Mother Em, wow! That's a lot for asparagus. I'm finally looking in to a co-op that is new, but about an hour drive from us.

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 . . .
