Under the Weather and Into the Forest

I have the worst cold I have had in a very long time and the fact that it was raining for 24 hours didn't help. As soon as the sun came out this morning, I dragged myself of the couch , got dressed and went for a walk in the nearest woods to my home. I was gathering leaves for a project and they were plentiful. I don't feel like writing today so I will leave you to retrace my steps. <b><b> I hope you are all having a nature filled weekend. I have some new projects to show you this week and I am working on the next installment in "guess the nature inspiration".

Where are you at that you have such leaves!?!? I'm sorry that you are feel bad, have you tried ginger tea? You take fresh ginger root and cut it up small (there in no need to peel it just wash it well) *about the size of your
thumb* Then you put the ginger into a pot add water about 2 cups then boil for 5 to 10 minutes until the kitchen smells good. After add honey to taste after drink when you can*hot*.Do not use sugar because that feeds germs and bacteria. It will warm you, then it will help to clear your sinuses it will also help with your cough. It is spicy alittle but good. You can also add lemon after you boil it so you get your vit.C too.
Sorry for the wonky typing the baby is trying to get the keyboard.
Feel better dear!Take care,

A walk in the woods is great medicine - Ontario autumn! - and I like the ginger tea suggestion. Oil of oregano, one drop or two in a tall glass of water, sipped, works for me as well. Wonder where the phrase "under the weather" came from.

You must live in the most lovely place on Earth. As much as I love living in Montana, we are just too far from any nature.

If your throat hurts you just steep whole cloves in hot water then sip it. It has a numbing effect to your throat and is good for your immune system. You can also steep Thyme for a cold over all it does the same as the ginger. Or you can make soup. LOL!
Take care.

Thank you for posting such beautiful pictures. I, too, have a cold today but didn't venture forth to the joys of my back yard. Your pictures were very comforting.

Love the idea of the steeped cloves! I'm going to fix some up right now since my throat is still pretty sore.
