“Man has to realize that he is an integral part of nature...that he is just as much a natural form as a seagull or a wave or a mountain. And if he doesn't recognize that, he uses his technical powers to destroy his environment...to foul his own nest.”

“We need another and a wiser and perhaps a more mystical concept of animals. Remote from universal nature and living by complicated artifice, man in civilization surveys the creature through the glass of his knowledge and sees thereby a feather magnified and the whole image in distortion. We patronize them for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate of having taken form so far below ourselves. And therein do we err. For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours, they move finished and complete, gifted with the extension of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren, they are not underlings: they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendour and travail of the earth.”
Henry Beston, naturalist.

Gratitude is a wonderful thing 😊 Each day this silly season think of what or who you are grateful for. It could be a gift, a connection, a person, an activity, a place, a moment in time. And if you want to multiple the joy and good feelings, share it with someone and ask them what they are grateful for. If you are grateful for a person, tell them. Having appreciation for people and things around you, makes you feel better and makes life better. It is researched, the effects are real. 😊

The word "Tea" is really only describing the drink made from Camelia Sinensis. There are a few varieties which make up the black, green, white, oolong, yellow and dark teas ☕️
All the other herbals drinks are called a Tisane, which could be anything from herbs to spice, fruits, and other flora 🌿🌹🍋🍃🌺🪷🍄‍🟫
In medieval Europe tisane was a hot or cold drink made from barley grain with added licorice root and fig and strained 🍵

Weeding ~ There are many w**ds that are edible, and demonised by (chemical) companies to ensure their profits.
Best natural way to w**d is pulling out by hand, not using herbicides anywhere especially where you grow your food or where animals live and eat (so basically anywhere)! It saves you money and chemical exposure!
Wet ground well, loosen earth with fork, then pull w**d out whole.
Weeds have their own properties of course and when certain w**ds pop up it indicates what the soil is lacking and what the w**d is providing. Find out what the w**d provides to the soil and replace/replenish it yourself. The w**d will probably reduce naturally then. There are always non-chem ways to garden. Everything in nature is balanced 🌳🌿
