*loudly snaps something by Sage's ear* WAKEY WAKEY BITCH!

TRIGGER WARNING: BLOOD AND GORE

Sage wakes up and kicks with her broken hoof, tearing off the hard part of the hoof to expose the gorey insides....

She was still with Black Sapphire....

(Continuation from the fight/argument with Black Sapphire)

Sage runs over to Pavlova in her deer form, tearing up.

Pavlova cookie still had not moved

Black Sapphire waits in a psychiatrist waiting room, kicking his legs and waiting for his name to be called.

How much longer...?

When i moved into my new place there was mint planted directly into the flower bed which had grown out of control as it is an invasive plant. I spent about 5 hours digging it out and repotting it. there was more than i could pot so i froze and dried some too!!

the dried mint was the first thing i have added to my little apothecary and i’m very happy with it.

i gifted 3 pots to family and have kept the rest!

Named after the Water Nymph, Minthe which was super exciting when i moved in as i felt much closer to my Gods almost like a sign!!

Saltwort (called "almyra" in Greek) growing wild on the beach. Read more below about the fascinating history of that plant! Learn more about our online courses on herbal medicine & aromatherapy in jointheflow.net Discover my books on bodywork and more: amzn.to/3xhaNey Young leaves and stems can be eaten raw or cooked. The leaves can be used as a spinach substitute or added in small quantities to salads. The seed is edible too. It can be ground into a meal and used as a gruel, thickener in soups etc., or added to cereal flours when making bread. However, the seed is small and hard to collect any quantity. The ashes of the burnt plant are used for making glass and soap. At one time large quantities of the ashes were imported into Britain for this purpose, but nowadays a chemical process using salt is employed. The ashes can also be used as a cleaner for fabrics.  #salsola #saltwort #glasswort #greekbeaches #wildmedicine #wildgourmet #greekflora #greekherbs #herbnerd #wildherbs #botany #botanicalmedicine #medicinalherbs #myherbalstudies #healingherbs #foraging #herbalistsofinstagram #herbalremedies #primitiveskills #survivalskills #urbanherbalist #herbalremedies #apothecary #ethnobotany #ethnobotanist Text credit: Wikipedia & pfaf.
