August is here - it is half way gone isn't it? I cannot believe how fast this summer is passing. It has been a cool summer here in the Smokies. I have had a birthday. I started baking cakes for my friends......I have been exploring new activities, new hikes, AND I am doing a women's weekend campout with my friend Vesna of A Walk In the Woods in mid September @ Cosby Campground here in the Smoky Mountains. Details here. There is always so much going on round here. Zip lines, hiking, biking, horseback riding and Dollywood of course. What I love most, are my gardens. So much is blooming - Jewelweed and Ginseng are the most colorful now.
The nettles have been particularly abundant. I have been harvesting and drinking them daily. A nettle infusion, which is a strongly brewed tea, is a wonderful source of minerals, great for the skin, and is refreshing when enjoyed chilled.
I have found a most interesting guest for my September podcast - Women of A Certain Age and.......Hysterectomies. Do you really need one? It's a hot topic around MoonMaid. I talk to women daily who have had one, are facing one, or have "conditions" that suggest one, by most medical docs. Dr. Tirso del Junco of www.alternativesurgery.com offers a procedure that keeps the uterus intact. I have said for years that a woman should try to keep their organs when possible. It holds a lot of other organs in place. Many women suffer severe physical issues after a hysterectomy. I am looking forward to this conversation with Dr. del Junco. Listen here.
I've also been enjoying adding photos to Instagram. A great way to post pictures of the garden.
Got a new kitty too. They just show up around here. She loves the garden already.
Next month we will be giving out sample sizes of our BugOff Insect Repellent. It works great, it smells great. I think you will like it. Sign up for the monthly newsletter to find out how it works.
Back to the garden, an abundant reminder of how wonderful life is!!
