The Weekend Update

Friday.

Bedding washed.  Deep cleaning projects completed.  One kitchen window, woodwork washed, plant pots wiped down, coffee bean grinder taken apart and scrubbed until the glass was shining.  Washed the dishes, dried and put them away, sanitized the counters with homemade (tea tree oil) wipes, and washed down the stove top.

Yarn stash put back in the closet.  All of it.

Then I got some back out.  

I have a problem.  

I put it back.

Tincture Time ~ Eye Strain Relief

In the past, I have used a poultice to place on my eyes for eye relief.  I believe I made it from chickweed. I'd have to read over my past blog posts, or read my homesteading journal to be sure....



I'm now experimenting with a tea with a combination of goji berries and chrysanthemum buds.
