Just a day

A thunderstorm is brewing, the wind chimes are singing their song. The air is tingling with ozone. Of course I just got my watering done.  :)

So it's an in the house day. I ran out and picked milk thistle heads and have them in the dehydrator so they will give up their seeds. From what I have learned those seeds are the best natural healer of the liver. I will probably make a tincture out of them, or maybe crush them for capsules. Not sure yet.

I have a lemon balm hydrosol doing it's magic in my canning pot as I type this. I hope to get about 16 ounces out of this batch. How awesome that would be for a summer time pick me up in the morning. I'll add it to the dandelion oil I made recently to make a gentle skin cream. 

I am going to make a Rosemary hydrosol next and make a cream for my mom. Rosemary is the memory herb in aroma therapy, and she is having trouble remembering things do to her dementia.  I am hoping using the skin cream everyday will help.

I gave out samples of my Dandy skin cream and got great feedback. Guess I'll make more of that too.

What a fun day in the kitchen. I want to get this kind of stuff caught up before the garden starts producing. Then it will be all about canning and drying my harvest.

Sometimes I wonder if I was born in the wrong time! 

Have an awesome day today, do at least 3 things that bring you joy. 

Peace
