Homestead Blog Hop 519

Welcome to the Homestead Blog Hop!

Brr!

Suddenly Fall is upon us!

I’ve spent the summer struggling to stay cool, with hot flashes and hot all night sessions. Now, I find that I truly do have a thermostat that feels the cold, because I am struggling now to stay warm. Go figure.

The air is crisp.

The leaves are beginning to fall, and I’ve been out in the garden harvesting tea herbs.

Today, I consider this my last garden run, because the night temps are dropping to almost freezing.

Holy basil, anise hyssop, and lemon verbena are the herbs I harvested yesterday. Today, I’ll go grab what’s left, and officially put the summer garden to rest.

Thankfully, I’m still seeing flowers. I particularly love the bright nasturtiums right now. I planted once, and have reaped those benefits for over four or five years so far. I love free plants!

Stay warm, grab a sweater, and a cup of something soothing.

Have a wonderful day, and let me know what you are harvesting!

Homestead Blog Hop will take place every Wednesday and is for all things homesteading: real food recipes, farm animals, crafts, DIY, how-to’s, gardening, anything from-scratch, natural home/health, self-sufficiency, self-reliance, natural remedies, essential oils, & more! Basically anything related to homesteading.
