I woke up super early, having gone to bed early, and decided to make this herbal concoction. I had made similar stuff years ago and found it really helped with coughs, colds, allergies, and general immune stuff.
A couple of hours later, and here my goop is done! It sure smells and tastes potent!

So. Earlier this week, I took a short walk around the complex here, and foraged for some greenery.
(Yes. Picture an old lady wandering about with a basket and garden shears).
It’s taken me a couple days to rest and think… but I’ve gotten some of it up.

Ran errands yesterday, and kinda crashed early.
Today, Jim is having issues with his a fib again, and he’s exhausted. So I am futzing around and making a pot of homemade chicken soup.
The apartment smells amazing…

Received this incredible gift of handcrafted excellence yesterday. A dear friend, who happens to be an amazing artist (painter, quilting, embroidery,etc) sent me a lively bag with her stunning embroidery on it, a stamped metal necklace pendant, and gorgeous fancy card!!!
