Weekending

This weekend started off nice with my daughter taking me out to dinner at a new Mexican restaurant. We stuffed ourselves and then chilled out at home. 

Saturday morning I pruned back the hops,  grapevine and tomatoes, then I mowed/mulched the leaves into the lawn. So much better than trying to rake and bag or rake period.

I also foraged for pecans. So far this season we've collected 20 gallon sized bags. We've shared some with friends and will share more as we get into the holiday season. 

I cleaned out the coop and the girls gave us some beautiful eggs in return. 

I made a leave-in conditioner with geranium essential oil and I also made a "fountain of youth" serum with frankincense and myrrh resins and castor and jojoba oils. Should be ready to use in just 3 short weeks.
