This has been a kinda weird weekend. I was supposed to meet up with EtsyLex friends for lunch but got some horrendous tummy troubles at 9 AM so I spent most of the day in bed and in the bathroom.
This morning I got up early, feeling much better (thank goodness) to take my daughter's best friend to a class at Locust Trace. That place is very interesting-the only negative plus in the country for energy use. They not only are self-sustaining on energy they actually SELL energy to the electric company. Anyway, she took a class to get certified as an animal rescuer. It's near our largest park in town so I took a look around there to see if they had any of the elusive white cedar trees and, sure enough, they did. So when I went to pick her up this afternoon I went back out there armed with clippers and a shopping bag and loaded up. Now I don't have to use the stuff I got from Gretchen so sparingly.
I also trimmed our overloaded double knock-out rose bush. I do love that plant but the canes are not strong enough to support the weight of all the leaves and flowers it produces. Needless to say, I am on my second rose distillation. I still can't believe the mild, sweet smell from knock out roses. I need cold cream soon so it will be made with some homemade rosewater.
This still was SO TOTALLY worth the money! It so satisfying to be able to make my own hydrosols. It helps me get better use out of my garden and has inspired me to explore native plants more than ever. Not to mention the money I save!
