Root Beer Float

root_beerWhile in Indiana, visiting my son, we went out for a Root beer float.  This photo was put on face book and some of my face book friends seem to think it is a glass of beer that I am holding. For clarification, it is Root beer with a scoop of vanilla ice cream floating on top!

Como Conservatory

Here we are at the Como Conservatory in Minneapolis — trying to pretend it isn’t bitter cold out side. It is a temporary fix on winter!

Tinctures and Oils

My kitchen is full of bottles and jars.  Today, I am working on  tinctures and herbal oils and learning as I go.  All the herbs were gathered six weeks ago and are now ready for the straining and bottling process. So far, I have been able to “test” the Plantain tincture. It worked wonders on a cut on Bob’s hand. The healing was visible in an amazingly short time. Also “tested” (on me), with positive results, are Elderberry syrup and Sage tincture.  So far so good.  I will keep on keeping on.

Welcome To My World

A blanket of snow covers my garden. The season of rest has arrived. The land will be still and quiet; the winter will be long and hard. My harvest has been good. I am grateful.

The works of the Lord are great, studied by all who have pleasure in them. Psalm 111:2

FYI

For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord will give Grace and Glory; No good thing will He withhold from them who walk uprightly.
