Dear Friends,
Sorry to gross you out with the rat photo, but our cat thankfully caught this one in our garage, before it made its way into the house (eek!). We do have brown rats and wood rats in our area
Early spring is springing here in the Ozarks of Missouri! I honestly feel like I'm still recovering from Christmas, but it's time to start getting the garden in order and spending lots of time pulling weeds and preparing beds. We invested in a couple of fancy "garden towers" to hopefully have a place that chickens and cats can't get into, and deer and rabbits won't eat. Plus it will save my back from bending over!
I have also been going through my apothecary, sorting jars and bottles of tinctures, and consolidating and formulating them. The formula we use the most is "Being a Girl is Fun," a blend I came up with to help my girls with monthly menstrual cramps and hormonal woes. I have soooo many herbs! Every year I plan on getting a building made for them. Lord willing, this year will be the one!
On Valentine's Day morning I slipped and ran my big toe into a board by the back door, so I have hobbling around, but still getting things done. Having a mortal body can be hard! At least I tend to injure different body parts when I do, so they're not all out of commission at once.
Our Thanksgiving cactus has sure been putting on a show lately! The Christmas cactuses I inherited from my grandmother haven't bloomed at all this winter, so I was grateful to at least have a little color on the windowsill during the dull days outside.
I hope this finds you well, in whatever corner of the world you may be at the time.
Love,
Marqueta
