 Well, not really 99 and not really beer...but anyway...
Dan went to a whiskey tasting on Sunday and being who he is, and knowing me the way he does, he ended up scoring 7 empty bottles from one of the vendors, Hudson Whiskey, at the end of the night. SCORE!!! These bottles are too cool for words. They are clear glass with corked toppers and I cannot wait to get stuff in 'em! The possibilities are endless - dried herbs, tinctures, herb salt or sugar, homemade vanilla, maybe some oils....etc, etc... I just had to share this because the picture was posted on my Instagram account and people were askin'! Oh, by the way - do you follow me on Instagram? If not, you should. Thanks to Dan for his wheelin' and dealin' (oh, and removing the labels) and I am looking forward to taking more pictures of these babies filled with some sort of love...

Just a quick post here...I am trying to improve my photography skills so bear with me while I work on that! I love pictures and want to take really great ones. While I try to figure out the best way to use the resources on my camera I am trying my hand at Instagram with my phone. Have fun with me and look for the new "View on Instagram" button over to the right and view my pictures as I take them at home on the farm, out and about in the real world or some of my products! Feel free to "follow me there" - I may take some out of the ordinary ones! Enjoy your weekend!!! 
Today is Valentine’s Day! Hope you all are having a great day! For the last 22 years, I have had Dan as my Valentine and of course added Camille to my short list of Valentines 13 years ago! This morning we shared gifts at breakfast. I am extremely lucky to have a family who actually thinks about the gifts they give and that really makes my heart sing! I received a cast iron Dutch oven favorable for cooking soups, stews and beans! I also received a plant – a Camellia sinensis which, for all intents and purposes is tea! Depending on how the leaves are processed, you can enjoy green, white or black tea from this species. And from Camille I received Cumin (which makes me smile big because I LOVE Cumin!) Now that’s love! Camille got a bag of items including glitter tattoos and a bracelet and of course you have to have 1 candy so she got Valentine Peeps! I also made up a coupon book for her because she loves that sort of thing – one for a sleep over with friends, another to pick the dinner that day and a spa night with Mama, etc...! I find it hard to buy for Dan, he seems to always have everything and then some - plus I really do not want to get him started on yet another hobby or project!!!! So for him he gets chocolate covered pomegranate seeds and an oil scent I blended just for him (oh, and for me of course!) I started with a base of Sunflower oil and added essential oils that have a masculine feel. I used a bunch of Sandalwood and added some Sweet Orange, Vanilla and Ylang Ylang. YUM! Smells great on him! I will also be spending time today with a few of my other loves: tea, yoga, crystals and meditation. These things bring a lot to the natural healing that I thoroughly love! Healing yourself and helping to get yourself back into a positive place is what I am working on learning and hope to be able to add to my services to help others (but I guess that is a whole separate blog spot for another day!) Either way, I myself will enjoy them on this day... Feel free to share what you love to do in the comments below!!!! I would love to hear them! Happy Valentine’s Day!      |
