Tea time!

It's tea time!

I love herbal teas.

I also love to mix my own concoctions.

My latest kick is 

-lavender

-chamomile

-lemon grass

-lungwort or mountain tea

With a bit of elderberry syrup I bought

a few months ago at the market.

The lavender and chamomile are for relaxing

the lemon grass is because it tastes good

and the lungwort is to help with

you guessed it...

your lungs.

Now this is NOT medical advice.

I just like the taste of all of them 

together.  The lungwort is actually

very sweet tasting.

I got my latest Oatbox in the mail yesterday.

I love this service.  No I don't get paid

to promote this. I only promote it

because I love the product.

Tasty, made in Canada and shipped to

your door. 

Check them out

We've been keeping busy.  I had bought some

water colour paints a long time ago and never

cracked them open. Well now's the time.

It's fun and relaxing.

Whether you're good at it or not it's fun.

Another thing that has been keeping us busy is 

building bee hives.

Bees wait for no man or Covid-19 virus.

So later on in the spring we are going to have to split the hives

so that means we need to build hives now.

Also hives shouldn't be painted red or black but

at the moment we don't have anything other than fuchsia.

Some people say it's just a myth, 

so we  will have to wait and see.  

The great thing about a greenhouse is that 

you can go work in it even

if it's crappy out.

Last evening it was windy and spitting rain. 

But we were able to replenish the beds with 

some much needed soil.

I even planted a few lettuce seeds.

It was a freebee I got from 

Hope seeds

Called Kweik lettuce.

My hens have been getting a lot of attention this last week.

I'm not sure if they appreciate it.

I'm always in there talking to 

them and gathering their eggs.

This gal is wondering if she should be broody or not.

She's not sure yet.  Her name is Bernadette.

I give them mealworms as a treat and they love them!

I know my mailman must think I'm nuts

with all the weird things I order

online.  I get these on 

Amazon.  

I have a love / hate relationship

with Amazon.  I'm a buy it local kinda 

gal...but....sometimes it can't be found

locally.  Like these things.  I used to buy 

them at my local Home Hardware but

they stopped selling it.

Chubby Mealworms

So I buy it online instead.  

Once again, I'm not paid to promote this

product.  I'm just doing it because I 

love the product.

Well I guess that's it for today.

Keep safe everyone and stay home!

Have a Blessed Day
