Repost – Elderberry….what is not to love?
Sambucus is the genus of this amazing plant. From our love of blueberries and now a growing love for acai, we know that polyphenols are essential to good health. This lovely berry also has them and oh so much more. It has scandal, medicine, and color! I can’t even recall where I read this little tidbit but it’s something posted on drflower’s facebook page a few weeks ago.

Do You Find Poetry Or Does It Find You?
Are you a pack rat? I might have a few of those tendencies. I try hard to keep my spaces clear of cluttered stuff but let’s face it, it’s an ongoing battle.

(Sorry mom but hang on I’m going somewhere with this.) If my Mom wasn’t a pack rat, there are some important milestone in my life cards, notes, pictures, school work that would have been lost to file 13. Within a plastic box, I was able…
