What should Scott Sexton's herbalist name be? (Ask Me Anything podcast followup)
So many herbalists, foragers, and naturalists have fun monikers to go by. I've heard of people called Thistle, or Willowtree. I even know a lady that goes by Wildcraft. ;) At the end of the last (2.27.20) Ask Me Anything podcast, I asked what my herbalist/forager name should be. I'm hoping for some really good suggestions.…

Selling used books and DVDs Online
Since I have to move soon, I've been sorting stuff, and filling boxes to take to the local thrift store and the library. Today I made almost 40.00 by using these 2 sites to sell some of my books and DVDs. Shipping lables are free to print on both sites. Most of my treasures were only a few cents, but I found some real…

I Should Have Thought of That Earlier
I like to think that I'm reasonably smart. The evidence does not always support this belief. I've had my little dog, Sammy since the summer of 2017. Every week when I change the sheets on the bed, he "helps". Eliza Jane, the cat, usually comes in, too. With all that "help", the job took forever, and frustrated the heck out…

Spring is Near!
Location - western Idaho (Adams County) I took my little dog for a walk just now. There's still lots of snow pushed up along the streets and on the trail, but the streets and most sidewalks are cleared. The thermometer by the high school said it was 46 degrees with blue skies and sunshine! We are supposed to get more snow…

Mother Earth poems
What is your poem to Mother Earth? Cultural reset. Praise to our Mother Earth. She feels our synergy, our radiant presence. We listen to her speak as the leaves move when wind blows, as snow and rain fall gently pressing onto the soil. The sun shines on bleak days. The air is filled with moving currents as are the waters.…

Plant based or meat and plant based diet?
I was attending a summit that was discussing the current obesity epidemic and almost every speaker was proclaiming a plant ONLY based diet as the way to combat the issue and the issues of major health concerns today. I am a meat eater and was chastised and strongly encouraged to mend my ways or my health/life was in grave…

I got my first seed catalog today!
The beautiful Botanical Interests catalog was in my PO Box today. The illustrations are just lovely, and now I think I want to plant vegetables that I don't even like- eggplant, for example. LOL. And the flowers! Oh my. I have hours of looking ahead of me. The thing is, I am probably moving by the end of the school year.…

spring cleaning
My husband has been fighting some sort of bug on and off for a week, so this morning the sheets are out on the line and the pillows are outside airing. When the laundry is out drying in the cold weather, it comes in smelling of ozone. I figure that will kill anything. This has led me to thinking about spring cleaning. Does…

A thought on doctors
I don't go to doctors. I treat myself - when I get sick or injured, I get well. It I had a serious emergency the required surgery or something, I would though. But it occurs to me that the word "doctor" comes from the Latin, "doctus". Doctus does not mean healer or physician. It refers to a teacher. I think health care…

Happy National Hot Chocolate Day!
So it's a little late, but it is National Hot Chocolate Day. Did you all remember to celebrate properly? I did have a cup this evening. I usually make it with a base of almond milk or almond/coconut mix, and add some decaf coffee- maybe 2-3 parts milk to 1 part coffee. It doesn't really taste like mocha; it just deepens…
