yeah I know it's a problem but I can't figure out why π
Green tea with lemongrass and mint this morning (coffee comes later) as I work in the dark before the kids get up, listening to a sermon, heating up the home. The rest of the day is always beyond very full; this is my time to charge my batteries. Good morning everyone, hope you have a great day.

Back when I was a young woman, I kept bees for a season. I didn't have an extractor so I just made due. I think about doing this again but sometimes it's the whole "starting over from scratch" that gets in the way.
Anyhooo. I think I fixed the Alby zap thing by logging in. Maybe? It's giving me an option to connect my wallet to it. Yes? Good idea?
Oy, this learning curve. Keeping bees was easier.

T'was an enjoyable afternoon π±

Making an blend of honeysuckle, chrysanthemum, echinacea and elderflower for someone with a lingering cold. And marmalade, just because I love it so much in the winter πMeanwhile, the kids are doing an art project and I'm giving myself permission later this afternoon to sit and do nothing except knit knit knit and watch a movie with them all. I think running around nonstop does nothing to keep those colds from settling in so I'd rather just avoid them to begin with.
Hope you're all having a restful winter.

Starting the first sleeve. Not much, except destruction, happens in a day.

Today, the love of my life and I celebrate having been married longer than we were dating.
Hereβs to many more beautiful years of memories, nostr:npub1jrx2fk666k5nt8vgak9xwyxlgcwh8fl9rvpwvvcpdthuqkcnptrqdfhtaq π

Aw you two are cute!

Because of my a Calabrian heritage I make it Italian by using pine nuts instead of peanuts and of course Calabrian chiliβs, but you can use any kind of chilis and of course olive oil.

It's really important to understand herbs do go bad over time, even if you store them in a dry, dark place. This is the same herb (gotu kola, if you must know): on the left is over a year old. On the right is a fresh order. Granted they're from two different sources, but I think time and deterioration is the main take away. If you're trying to work with symptoms or even wellness, open up the bags and make sure the color and scent of your herbs are good πΏ 
I've been spending way too much time indoors. It's not how I want to live, but the overcast damp and chill keeps me inside other than for short walks. I recently watched a young woodpecker make its way up a cedar tree, and that was worth the trouble of bundling up. There's so much that is interesting outside, even in winter.

this doesn't look like the TX I've seen π
"This is an age of nerve tension, and the relaxation which comes from the comforting companionship found in woods and fields is, without doubt, the best remedy for this condition."

So apparently my wallet (Alby) isn't working but I only know about it because some very kind zappers told me (thank you!!)
When I look at my wallet, it says it is online with a working address.
I could disconnect it. But what happens to the sats already there? (there's not a lot, I just want to be educated)
And if not Alby...then what? π€
Is there a tutorial anywhere?
This is all such a steep learning curve for me π€―π€ͺ
