Sorry you missed the rain. It's really hit and miss all over. Weird spring.
Thanks, Meemur. I'd rather miss it than get the deluge we were forecasted to get. If I'm lucky, I may catch a nice little shower tomorrow. Thankfully, we have a well so I can water if I need to. I think that's what is hitting @SouthernBreeze right now. Since we are prone to flooding, I'm glad it didn't hit here...yet. We have four days with no rain forecasted starting Monday but I'll be stuck inside trying to make up for all the time I've spent in the garden. The house needs some TLC to say the least.

ugh! this head congestion feels like it going in my chest. I can't do cold meds except the coricidin stuff as they run my bp sky high for days. DD and family have the same thing so I guess its not allergies. Sent the home with some mullein leaves yesterday and it looks like I'll be making some mullein tea myself. I could've slept longer this morning but Rufus decided it was time for me to be up.....never mind that dh was out on the back deck and Rufus had been out there playing with him.

I realized yesterday that my headache was due to sinuses being packed. I pulled ou eucalyptus oil (ravintsara) to get things moving and then hinoki wood oil to soothe all the inflamed tissues. It's probably going to take doing that a couple more times to get it to stay cleared but definitely helped.

I can't take steroids so I use this to keep things from moving to my lungs. Although the hinoki has also helped directly with lungs when I had some asthma issues that were being persistent.
