[Nerys]

Last monday of month April made a citrus and birch vinegar for the house use.
Been harvesting and drying herbs from my garden for use in colder months. So far have jars of dried: melissa/lemon balm, birch leaves, dandelion flowers, plantain slender leaf variety, .....
Several herbs are gone or much less, ground is too dry, weather too cold, only 2 bees in my garden.
All my comphrey is gone, very odd.
From kitchen groceries use have jars of dried orange peels, lemon peels, lime peels.
Made a cologne similar to Florida water had no vodka in house so added some fragrant gin omg.
Smells really nice.
Floridawater recipes can be found online. And Alanna youtube channel in spanish she makes it.

Heatwaves here. And ordering carrier oils they get overheated in transit go rancid . So used as a base bought early spring online at a pharmacy,
lavender body oil they sell vials of 10 ml, used 8 ml added lemon essential oil shaky hands so not sure how many drops went in, 2 small bits of frankincense resin, 2 small bits myrrh resin, let stand for a week, before sleep use a little dab on wrists, sides of neck and nose tip.

For sleep few stem of mugwort on bedside table also helps for interesting dreams.

Chamomile or lavender tea , a cup before bedtime, or a tea like Sleepy Time from Celestial Seasonings, used to buy that years ago.
