Tis' The Season...

Love and kindness are never wasted.

They always make a difference.

- Barbara De Angelis

 While it's normal for THIS season to be

filled with hustle & bustle... there is another

off the beaten path to roam.  And that's a path

of wellness & caring for oneself naturally!

Time WELL spent in silence; in rest; close to a 

roaring fire; twinkling lights; tea & a soaking bath.

THESE are JUST a few of the solid

benefits of living, BUT... we as humans

have to take the initiative to make it happen.

I've been taught by trial & error way... was NEVER one

to take heed to advice until years later in age.

NOW... I'm still & listen to what my body is

trying to speak/tell me!

JUST this weekend... I surrendered to my 

body calling for rest & restoration.  

For TWO days... I humbled myself; rested;

sipped HOT tea & resorted to JUST being in my home!

 As an avid gardener, one whom LOVES 

the growing; the beauty & THE benefits of herbs.

I found it a MUST to have done my research

throughout the years of gardening on ALL things herbs!

I'll speak of JUST one... herb in THIS blog post, 

for The GOOD... Lord knows... there wouldn't 

be enough space to consume the words of what's

 been learned through the years!

SAGE... is one of many herbs that would

take center stage in my garden OR at least a hefty corner.

It's BEAUTY compliments so many of it's 

 neighbors in the garden/potager... offering a silvery tone.

The leaves are superb in shape... & pack a strong punch

when using in the kitchen.  Not ONLY do I consider

this herb for cooking & health benefits... BUT, for 

the simplicity it brings to a home when creating 

a finished wreath OR dried floral.

Our main bath provides JUST what the season

calls for... a RELAXING moment of self care.

As late autumn arrives, JUST before frost 

spreads a fine layer across the foliage of 

growing things... I harvest the sage here at the farm.

It's a staple as I enter into 

the winter season... for tea drinking.

The benefits are simply AMAZING... but, 

my MAIN reason for consuming THIS helpful herb...

is to BUILD my immune system & it did JUST 

that this past weekend.

There are MANY rewards to growing 

SAGE... I encourage you to do some 

research & find ALL the benefits.

I'm heading to the kitchen to prepare

more tea... would you care to join me???

Warm Blessings... from my home to YOURS!
