To make medicines, teas and syrups! Many warm blessings to you in this new season!<br />Warmly,<br />Nicole* *https://www.blogger.com/profile/03454159586769190813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5981649271574500877.post-8735695828967701772009-09-26T18:08:03.987-05:002009-09-26T18:08:03.987-05:00Dear Marqueta, I love the pictures and hearing abo...Dear Marqueta, I love the pictures and hearing about your berries -- Hawthorn and Elder. I have always wanted to make syrup, but have not done it yet. Thank you for all the information. :) I keep hawthorn tincture on hand but have been a bit afraid to use it lately because my BP and heart rate were so low! Once I adjust to my own new personal normal, I may have a whole new bunch of favorite plants. :) <br /><br />Hugs,<br />LynnLynn Hastyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16367660287680792496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5981649271574500877.post-33196874533432159282009-09-26T11:04:13.217-05:002009-09-26T11:04:13.217-05:00How wonderful to be gathering your harvest ~ I lon...How wonderful to be gathering your harvest ~ I long for land of my own to garden... I hope someday ~<br /><br />How wonderful to be able to travel to the mountains to find berries. You have inspired me to start looking around here to see if there is anything around here that I can go in search of to preserve. I would like to find an apple orchard too... but I have no idea of anything around here. I am still so unfamiliar with Utah. lol <br /><br />Anyway, I hope you are enjoying a lovely weekend. I am working on a letter to you! :)Emily of A Beautiful Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12344634575410261040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5981649271574500877.post-43105921173954263232009-09-25T21:19:43.903-05:002009-09-25T21:19:43.903-05:00Hooray, and amen!

My Mom was just commenting on how out of proportion it seems to all have become, seemingly, by the media's design.

And what lovely treats you will be able to enjoy through out the winter. I definitely need to pick up some books on the basics of gathering like you do. Foraging for Dummies?? do they make that lol!! Thanks for sharing your harvest I can't wait to get settled again and enjoy such wonderful things like making jam and such! Love the pictures....Blessings HeatherThe Watts Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06810135405849803475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5981649271574500877.post-46514215427571618432009-09-24T13:42:24.875-05:002009-09-24T13:42:24.875-05:00Oh, dear!

Yes, a busy time gathering up the last of the bounty for winter stores!<br />Thank you for the post on Elderberries. I have heard of a tea or drink that can be made of them but am always afraid I will pick the wrong thing! I have heard, too, that there are two kinds of elder trees ~ one good and one bad. Is that true? How does one know the difference?<br />I will be keeping my 'eyes peeled' for elder trees in our area.<br />Blessings!Lady Farmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12478162101957028151noreply@blogger.com
