Spend a day with me as I forage and collect my own herbal teas. Some from herbs I have grown, but others from foraging around my home. I'll be making Lemon Balm, Lavender, Mint, Dandelion, and Raspberry tea! IMPORTANT NOTE: some edible plants, even in tea form, can be known to cause negative symptoms in certain groups of people. I encourage you to research your tea herbs before consumption!

"Nature doesn't stop growing just because of the fear of a future that may or may not happen, it blooms and thrives and does what it can with the time that it has" So true... And most of the time we forget that we are nature too.

I also have a black lab that I adore, actually two of them, they keep me company and I feel protected when alone at the cabin. Such unconditional love. The fires have been so bad here in northern Colorado, it did stop before it got into the area of my cabin, but it saddens me when I think about the loss of trees and wildlife. Like you, I love the forests, the tall pines, when you get up close, you can smell different fragrances they put off, a lot of vanilla. Blessings to you, thank you for the beauty and peace you share.
