I spent part of my day cleaning out the refrigerator. It was hot and humid, and a good day for laundry too. I had to do some sewing, so I got that done as well.
Although I felt better, I woke up at 3am with a killer sort throat. I guess I'll be drinking hot ginger tea today. I ran out of chamomile, but have fresh organic ginger on hand.
The rain fell yesterday, so I may run out and start gutting the garden. I got a text from Hubby to "stay out of the garden" but it needs started. The girls can help this weekend, and get it done faster.

Comfrey Poultice ~ Tidbits
This was my first time to actually use comfrey for anything. You could call this a "pile to file" recipe too. The first time I planted it (live plant vs. seed), it died. This year I planted organic/non-gmo seeds and was successful. This year however, I am making comfrey poultices to put in my freezer.
First, I grind the leaves in my food processor (worked better than my blender) with a touch of water. Most recipes I found said to add flour to make the "paste." I also read that chia seeds works well too.
