I have not been here much

We are having thunderous, stormy fall weather. I love it, but it gives me headaches. I woke up early with one that stayed all day yesterday. I went to bed right after 8 pm last night. I could not stay awake to come here, even. That is why I chose to be here first this morning. Hubby and I will go do some shopping this evening, so I may not be here then, either. I have had a breakfast and now it is time to dress and leave. I have brought in my plants, and taken cuttings from herbs. Harvested some herbs to dry as well. It will be very cold tomorrow. I have to get the other stuff harvested soon. Have a great day. I will be seeing you more this weekend, I hope.

That sort of weather gives you headaches, yet you still like it? Hope you are ok now.

I finally bought the type of sinus medicine that fixes my headaches. The cool, brisk weather energizes me. I love not sweating so very much.

Are you in the path of the snowstorm? I hope you have a good day at work.

@GardenGerty It was a chilly 39 this morning when I left to do laundry and windy making it feel colder. All the snow is north of us.

For the last two days I have been very busy. My children each had a school trip and my son had two appointments. Your weather sounds like it has been really awful. I hope that you don't get anymore headaches. Have a lovely time with My Lot at the weekend hopefully.

When you have kids you have built in activities. I hope you enjoy every minute.

@GardenGerty Yes, when the weather is rainy and cold I keep my children busy. They look forward to a few days out with me in the October half term. My son has 2 weeks off and my daughter has 1 week off.

Yes, we have to do our 'real life' things first.

The atmospheric pressure sounds like it is bothering you. That's too bad. I think many of us seem to go in cycles as to how much we are here.

I am working more hours than I have for about five years and it shows as far as how much other stuff I do.

I've brought in most of my plants but still have a couple planters out. I guess I should bring them in today as I noticed some of the trees are starting to change color.

I did better than I usually do. I am having to keep them locked up from the visiting kitties though. They want to dig in them, lay in them and chew on them. Not sure they should chew them all.

I enjoy just even smelling them when the wind blows through or I brush against them when I walk past.

We had a lot of rain yesterday and it is sunny and very warm today. I should go into the woods and search for mushrooms, but I am scared of snakes.

I would not know which mushrooms to pick. I am less afraid of snakes than I am of bugs, especially spiders. I keep walking into sticky webs.

@GardenGerty The small snakes that hide under the leaves where there are the good mushrooms are venomous here and they are exactly the same color of the ground and the leaves. I am scared of them.

What do you do with dried herbs?

I cook with them, or make teas of various types. I infuse them into oils or vinegars as well. Some of them are good for healing.
