It rained all day Saturday, but we split wood inside the barn. I also tackled cleaning the last window blind, and Hubby helped. We managed to get one air conditioner in storage, and a few windows washed on the inside as well. It was cold, but I was not going to fire up the wood stove. No way. I need the chimney swept first. We hunkered down with flannel pants/pajamas, and lots of blankets instead.
I've been stocking up more herbs, and getting more medicinal herbs put into jars as well. I started a jar of plantain/comfrey oil that I'll eventually use to make a salve, and I got a batch of elixir made.

Wicked Weather
Hot chocolate is finally restocked for this cold spell were are currently in. The weather is very fall-like, with a mix of storm-i-ness. The wind is wicked due to the coastal storms. I hope everyone is hunkered down and safe.
