We are about to have a big weather shift this coming weekend. Our weather has been very warm around here, not blazing hot (thankfully) but still, much warmer than I would like on September 20th. I would like a nice cool breeze and maybe ‘light jacket’ weather. I am excited about the weather change coming. It is also supposed to bring a little rain with it. I hope to get some of my starts in the garden today before the swing.
I’ve been doing a little re-vamping my apothecary cabinet to bring in a few new herbs that I have gathered and some tinctures I am starting.
I am so bad. When I start a project, it is not good enough for me just to start the project. I have to pull everything out. Clean the area and then put it all back in.
It’s a lot of work, but I am usually very satisfied with the end results, so it is totally worth it.
One of the newest remedies that I am going to give a try is a recipe for cough syrup. You know I have shared with you about our Elderberry Syrup before and it is good for coughs, but I like to use it for when you are starting to feel a bit sickly. It is great for helping boost those immunities back up, to get you feeling more like yourself, quickly.
But it is nice to have alternatives. So you don’t get burned out on the same thing.
This recipe is taken from Crystal Miller’s The Family Homestead website:
I will let you know how we like this one. It will be our first try with it.
It’s always good at about this time of year, when the weather is beginning to shift and change to get your herbal shelf or apothecary cabinet stocked and ready for whatever the season may hold.
