I have a goat whose name is Buffalo and when he makes his “FEED ME!” sounds you’d think there was a cow nearby. But it is his sound and we love him for it….
It makes me realize that there are certain sounds that I absolutely love, make me feel I am where I am supposed to be. There are also sounds I hate; the ones that make me wish I was somewhere else! Sounds I love (a short list): A horse – pretty much anything about them - blowing out their nostrils, running, a whinny, a nicker… A rooster – just in the background, it is a comforting sound… The rain – when I am home I love the sound of rain and thunder… Fire – no doubt one of my faves… Pots and pans – the sound of someone (even me) cooking real food at home… Chickens – the little clucking the do when they are happy just scratching and pecking at the grass. Oh, and the babies… Bees – the humming makes me think of them being busy and making honey… Sounds I hate (short list): Construction – needs no explanation… Excessively barking dogs – really, it’s OK to tell them to stop… Motors – really anything like dirt bikes/4-wheelers/motorcycles that just keep running and lingering in one spot…it's OK just going by... Cash register – it’s taking my money so I really don’t like this one… I am definitely a gal who loves silence and nature, maybe it is because of the various jobs I have held where noises, and people talking, are in abundance. What about you?

That is Chickweed to the rest of us! I have come across quite a bit the pretty little plant throughout my yard. Just a few spectacular things about it: ~Has high levels of iron, magnesium, calcium, zinc and vitamins A, C, and fiber. This makes it a wonderfully nourishing infusion and addition to salads for those feeling weak, recovering from illness or lacking in nutrition. ~Has been used to treat/dissolve warts and some cysts. ~Does wonders in healing cuts! Make sure that wound is sparkling clean before using chickweed salve! It can also be used as a poultice while outside if you have a sting or bug bite - just chew and plop onto the affected area! ~Is used to treat coughs, dry coughs, scratchy throats and hoarseness. With my harvest today I made infused oil, tincture in 50% alcohol and a salad!    |
