Tornadoes, tornadoes and more tornadoes! Onions and sunflowers laid out flat from the last one, damage removed, staked or replanted and here we go again with another tornado tonight! Aaaargh! On the bright side, we have had the longest most comfortable spring I've experienced in years. Usually goes to real hot, real fast around here.
Picked huge bowls of honeysuckle flowers for my tea. Was fabulous with a sprig of mint. Elder berries are starting to bloom now, so looking forward to their flowers for tea now, and their berries later for medicine. I have my calendula petals soaking in oil now, when the chamomile blooms I'll add their petals to the oil, then a little frankincense and a drop or two of tea tree oil. So fabulous for my old lady skin. Trying to get some of the medicinals out of the way before I get so busy putting up food for the year
