I needed to tighten the hinges on the door to the backyard from the deck so I dug into a cabinet for my favourite little hand tool. That cabinet is also used as a candy cupboard and I’m sure you can imagine how pleased I was to discover some chocolate stashed in it!!

The air smells different today. The wind is cold and will be until the last snow is off the far hills but the air is fresher now and I’m thinking about starting garden clean up.

Dtr and I have been talking about #diy using wood pallets. Found some great ideas on this page from The Spruce! www.thespruce.com/diy-wood-pal...

I’m off to the kitchen to see what looks good for breakfast. There’s a lot of leftovers in the fridge so I have yummy choices today! Back in a bit. 😊

I’ll be spending some time in my office this morning looking for my lists of what seeds were ordered in the past two years. Such fun. 😛

Good morning everyone. It’s going to be a beautiful day here on the farm!

I’m halfway through Johnathan Kellerman’s novel Compulsion and have no idea ‘who done it’ so I’m signing off now to read for a bit. Take care of yourselves friends, I’ll look for you here again tomorrow.

Got talking about Sasquatch today, as you do, and it reminded me of that time a neighbour had what appeared to be a bigfoot wreck their small animal pens. I know there’s a webpage about it but I can’t find it. Happened near Pillar Lake, north of Falkland BC. There were other sightings nearby too.

It targets intentional false statements made to voters or lawmakers. Supporters say it will restore trust in public institutions. The policy focuses on accountability rather than mistakes. Lawmakers found guilty could face suspension or removal The proposal follows years of public misinformation.

Took a social media break today, went to town to pick up my tea from Murchies, talked with family, laughed a lot, it’s been good. I hope your day has gone well.

I’m going to unplug, make myself a nice cup of tea and read for a bit before Elke and I need to do our last check of the farm. I’ll be back around here in the morning. Be good to yourselves friends.

Today I went and filmed some local avalanche control on our Slide Mtn here near Wells. I don't know what was more satisfying...the explosions or the avalanche! I hadn't seen either in a long time. This is some fun footage, enjoy!! youtu.be/nBfhEtvyKa8

I’m on to box number two of chocolates. I don’t think they’re going to last long!

I know with Doberman‘s winning best in show, there’s probably gonna be a surge of people buying Dobermans. As somebody who’s had this breed for most of my life? Please thoroughly do your research first! The dog you want may not be the dog that is best suited for your lifestyle…

I’m thinking that these two rocks could be jade.

My roommate and her new Squeeze are going to Mardi Gras on New Orleans for the first time. Any recommendations from those of you who have already been on some great places to eat. She loves Lobster but doesn't like Crawfish which makes no sense to me.

there is a weariness in the air a hollow ache that simmers in the weight of these unprecedented times It is easy to feel diminished, void of recognition, silenced by they who don't care remember, it is normal to feel this way, expected even- you are not alone 🩷 #words #encouragement #photography

That’s all the time we have for #herbChat today, thank you so much for joining us!! Next week we’ll be talking about Kelp, hope to see you then!

We haven’t talked a lot about medicinal uses of Jacob’s Ladder today but… now for the obligatory #herbChat notice. Herbs are powerful medicine and energy. Please do your due diligence before using any herb and if you’re uncertain about any consult with a professional.

I like The Spruce when I have time to go down a rabbit hole, they always have something to say about anything. This page from the about Jacob’s Ladder has lots of good info. #herbChat www.thespruce.com/growing-spri...

If you’d like to plant Jacob’s Ladder in a flower border this webpage has a nice list of companion plants for what I think would be a lovely addition to any spot. #herbChat arboretum.wisc.edu/content/uplo...

Everything I’ve read suggests that Jacob’s Ladder can easily be grown from seeds. I was given mine as plants so haven’t tried it but I will. Seeds seem to be readily available, this post from one of my favourite herb sources has a lovely photo of this herb. #herbChat www.richters.com/products/jac...

Oh well that was fun. The rocking chair in the office just started rocking. Of course it was Elke lying beside it who made it move and nothing spooky but it had me going for a second or two!! lol

Good general information about Jacob’s Ladder on this webpage (height, size, etc) #herbChat myplantin.com/plant/7313

This webpage has the happy news that rabbits ignore Jacob’s Ladder as well as some unusual uses for this herb. (I don’t remember the last time I saw a rabbit, I wonder how well this plant might deter deer?) #herbChat www.hettysherbs.co.uk/product/jaco...

I found lots of delightful information about Jacob’s Ladder on this webpage that talks about symbolism as well as practical uses of this herb. #herbChat www.picturethisai.com/language-flo...

Jacob’s Ladder is a bee magnet and attracts many beneficial insects. #herbChat www.backyardecology.net/jacobs-ladder/

Although it is a member of the Phlox family Jacob’s Ladder does not have that delightful scent that most of us would expect from a Phlox. In fact, its scent is why this herb is often called skunk leaf. #herbChat www.nps.gov/cebr/learn/n...

#herbchat I has to look this one up. Jacob’s ladder is native to North America. Many herbs are imports. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polemon...

Jacob’s Ladder has a long history of use for feverish conditions and as well it is known as an anti-inflammatory. #herbChat fyneherbs.co.uk/products/jac...

I enjoy Jacob’s Ladder in my garden because I really like blue flowers and because this herb is a star in shady spots. #herbChat www.masterclass.com/articles/jac...
