BEAVER:

I avoid any scented product of any sort as most scents are made with neurotoxins which, of course, affect our brains. The worst being dryer sheets; I cannot go outside if the neighbours(city) are using dryer sheets.

Last year, we bought a number of jars of wonderful jellies, locally and organically produced. Not wanting to run out of favs, we will be using them for a few more years! We just do not think to use them.

New wood is arriving faster than I can stack it. My foot and shoulder are aching and it is hot, so I do about 15 minutes once of twice day. I have to keep it covered but will catch up on the stacking on cool mornings and late evenings. Soaked feet today in hot water with comfrey and Epsom salt.

Made some pots using recycled clay. The work of getting in into shape - wedging air bubbles out - is also hard on shoulders so I am taking a break from that also.

R arriving today for long weekend so I suspect we will be doing yard sales, Gemboree, music, art gallery, and other things. Made a pan of brownies and have a stuffed chicken in oven. Successfully confining most of heat to K with a fan over the stove, exhausting out the window. Actually working quite well.

He could do some wood but better he work on his library; he has so little time and the wood can wait.

Super pleased that I was able to do quite a bit of wood for a while this eve.
