In 2019 I saw Jaki Shelton Green receive NC Humanities Council’s highest award. The poet and activist, Nikky Finney, introduced her and gave one hell of a speech. 🔥 That night I sent Finney an email. Within 15 minutes she had emailed me back. Read that last sentence. “We will get through this…” ❤️

I needed some joy today so I went to Pine Knot Farms Hellebore Festival in VA. I’d like to share this bowl of hellebore happiness with my @bsky.app folks. Please take a deep breath in and out and relax, just for a minute. It’s a marathon, not a sprint. #resist but don’t forget to live. #flowers

First time going off-script (off-recipe?) making elderberry syrup. I’m adding my own touches this time. Cardamom pod, cloves, ginger root, lemon peel, and Ceylon cinnamon chips. Sure smells good simmering. Hope it turns out! #herbalism #healthcare #herbs #making #elderberrysyrup

Looking through #theoldfarmersalmanac and see a beautiful spread on making herbal salves. I recognized the author’s name as a new friend here on @bsky.app (I think!).

Over the holidays I made more elderberry syrup! I keep it on hand, especially fall through spring. I used to buy at my local natural foods coop, but now thanks to @rosemarygladstar.com @scienceandartofherbalism.com course, I make it myself! And it’s even better!! #herbalism #herbalist #herbs #health

Good morning from our home. The almost 22 year old kitty is grooming the 17 year old. I’m reading Christian Wiman’s Zero at the Bone: Fifty Entries Against Despair. I had this book for a while, but picked it up again Nov 6–a day of deep despair for me. #poetry #cats #essays #reading #books #life

Tiny gold fans covering the ground today in a client’s Raleigh NC garden. Beautiful and beneficial tree.
