Unless your family stages an intervention, you will one day be found semi-conscious and emaciated under an auditorium stage, desperately clinging to a sweat-soaked PhD.

Oh my goodness! That has got to be an amazing experience! A mama dear had triplets in my backyard last year - although they didn't need bottle feeding, my Dad and I loved watching them learn to walk and pounce around the yard! You are absolutely right, friendships can be a huge blessing. I am working on my "bubble" - lots of recipes I've been working on over the years, but more for Colorado bugs, which are usually smaller and fewer.

beauty berry ..its the key to the mint..just rub the leaves on you. doesn't feel bad , just kind of waxy. It's changed everything for me , this year..crazy thing is , its everywhere..not really crazy, more His provision. and you cant get simpler, its there in the times you need it, so I don't have to devote time to preparing extracts

Wow, I have never heard of Beauty Berry before - looked up it's medicinal qualities and it sounds like such a a great plant - thanks for sharing about it! Are you using it as a bug deterrent as well? Don't you love how God provides in abundance exactly what He knows is needed? I saw a field full of Blessed Thistle and thought "wow, I wonder if they harvest and use these amazing plants!" only to find the next week the appearance of the field being doused with herbicides and wilted thistles everywhere. I almost cried thinking of all that lost value and benefit. My personal favorite is plantain - that was an amazing story if you'd ever like to hear sometime.

i had looked it up before , but never saw anything to indicate its use, as an insect repellent, until this year. I have had thistle heads before, but its been awhile . I have plantain everywhere. never have done much with it besides insect stings. Im all ears....
I did more research and found the insect repellant properties - so fascinating! I wish we had some in growing in this area. Ok, storytime! Grab a cup and get comfy. ☺ Historically, I rarely suffer any type of infections and have a fairly robust immune system. However, about 5 years ago, I had tried to open a stuck jar lid (unsuccessfully) using all my strength, and that effort tore a crack between my nail bed and finger. I didn't think anything of it, figured it would heal up quickly like normal. But some sort of infection hit hard. Still didn't phase me; I simply applied my various infection-fighting and anti-bacterial "potions". Strangely though, after a week nothing was helping. I increased nutrients, vitamin C intake, applied stronger agents, etc. By then my finger was swollen so much I couldn't bend it. I had it bandaged, iced, and kept it above my heart just to keep the swelling from becoming unbearable. Then, after a regimen of using every agent I knew about, I was sitting at work over a week later, (trying to type one-handed at work is time-consuming!), and I took a break to change the bandage, clean, and reapply multiple things when I saw the tell-tale dark red vein going all the way past my wrist and I knew it was getting bad. The Lord reminded me of a story Dr. Christopher told of one of his patients with blood poisoning from an injury and how he told the guy to go to his front yard, pick a few leaves of plantain (known to most as a horrible broad-leaf weed, "Plantago major"), chew up the leaves and apply the bruised leaves to the wound. The guy saw miraculous results very shortly! So, I walked across the road to a park with green lawns as I was sure there were some "weeds" around I could use for emergency. Harvested a handful, chewed them up, put them on my fingertip and wrapped them up - and prayed! (After all, there was NO way I would ever step foot in a dr's office or such, so I had to find a solution quickly.) By that evening the dark red vein was gone, by morning the swelling was less than half, and by 3 days it was healed, and completely normal looking. I was amazed and have been a huge fan of it's poison-extracting properties ever since!! I planted a little patch at my home (away from people's weed-killing sprays) and always keep my eye out for it - even found it in South America! I love that it grows all over the world. Many call it "Nature's Bandaid", but it was more than a band-aid for me! Every time I tell people that Plantain is incredible and they need to use it, they look confused or tell me they love fried plantain bananas. haha
Well there you have it. The End!
