The chimney and wood stove has finally been cleaned. This year the cost was $199.00. Last year it was $179.00 and the year before $159.00. I see a $20 hike pattern here, but there are very few companies that do this in my area (and who are reliable). Self sufficiency comes with it's own price, and there are no short cuts when it comes to responsibility.

Medicinal Herbs ~ Tea Time
Some days I don't look up an herbal/medicinal tea recipe. I simply open my encyclopedia on herbs and pick a few I harvest, and brew the tea.
I think I picked this one up at a book sale years ago. Not sure. It contains a good amount of information on all herbs, but I noticed if I looked up "Stinging Nettle" it only mentions the medicinal use for asthma and regrowth of hair. No mention of allergies, poor circulation or other ailments.
Yesterday's tea was nettle/peppermint. Nettle grows here wild and the peppermint I grow from organic seeds.
