Having dealt with the flu sweeping through the house in January(most of January), and feeling the pressures of our modern day struggles as a society who eats poorly, farms less, processes more, stresses more....and so on, I have found myself in the last two years more and more inspired to learn about herbs. Not just lavender or rosemary....because we all know how great it smells when you grow a little basil or lemonbalm in your garden, but the ins and outs of herbs. My challenge: how do I learn about these, while not A. getting carried away and all-consumed and B. figuring out what to put together to help heal, nourish and protect my family. Well, as an odd twist of events, I have been reacquainted with a book that I found myself perusing this summer at the West Tisbury farmer's market, again at the craft fair over Thanksgiving in Tisbury, and then right here in our very own Oblong Book store. Well, one would think I would have connected the dots sooner and that I would actually own this book...nope! I FINALLY put the pieces together this past week while standing in Oblong....so I am doing the wrong thing: instead of supporting my local business, which I so like to do(and have done recently), I am ordering the cheaper version from Amazon. I will keep you posted, but from what I have already read and heard about it, I can't wait to dive into making some of my own salves and remedies!
