Good Morning!
It’s a bit cloudy here in Cottage Country this morning, but we will see some sunshine a bit later on, as looking outside the sky is clearing as I type.
Highway 522 is still very quiet these days, but we are having a few folks still dropping by our gift shop, picking some of our unique items. We had one couple drop by late last night actually when we were closed and being that they were traveling through, and were interested in my flutes, we opened for them. Nice young couple that was travelling the world and had been to many countries and towns. We had a real nice chat and in the end they bought one of my flutes. I have to admit it is sure nice chatting to people, one reason if you listen … you can learn all kinds of things. Something that a lot don’t do today.
On another note, my lovely wife and I worked outside most of the day yesterday on some projects I had on the go, along with making some new tinctures from plants, that will sure come in handy if we are in need. You know … over the years I have learned more than my share of old time remedies that work well. Oh, I know some say, “George most doesn’t do a thing,” and to some point I have to agree with them, but in saying that there are a lot of plants out there today, that can help with a lot of ailments. I know this to be true, as I have seen how effective they can be if made properly using the right plants. I was told one time by an old Native Medicine man, a very good friend of mine, that for most diseases/ illnesses that affect us humans there is some kind of plant or tree that can help. The thing is, he said. It is that most humans don’t know where to look. And I have found that to be true too. So that is why I try and help those in need when ever I can.
“In the spirit of honoring the things I’ve received over the years, I give back in my own way.”
With that I am off for a boiled egg this morning, just the yoke, and then will see what the day has in store. Why do I eat just the yoke? Simple really, as I found over the years that the white isn’t good for you, it is put there to protect the yoke not to eat. As a matter of fact, we feed the birds every day as we enjoy watching them, but you know. When ever we throw out the white’s of the eggs, they won’t eat them. Actually, they won’t even go near them, especially the crows. One of the smartest birds on the planet next to the raven’s. The yoke now they gobble them up. So you see, just by watching nature you can learn a lot that is … if you have a mind too.
Have a great day. GW
