Dog Days of Summer are here.!
The Dog Days of Summer are upon us. Yes indeed, the heat is hot, the humidity is off the charts!
The good news .. my tomatoes are starting to turn red and I have had my first 'home grown' tomatoes this week. Been eating fresh squash, cucumbers, the garlic harvest was awesome. Can you tell I love garlic.!
The economy has us all 'holding our breaths'. The gas prices are 'over the top' and many of us are trying to renegotiate the way we purchase items and do our 'running around' .. Which is all a good thing really.
They keep saying 'Americans are soft'. Well, I don't believe that. Call me 'Pollyanna' .. but I do believe .. when the going gets tough .. we step up to the plate.
The upcoming elections .. well honestly, I can't go down that road.. politics and all.. I rather keep that 'opinion' to myself. Suffice it to say, I'm not happy.My generation, (yes indeed I'm a left over hippie) .. we spoke out and rebelled.. and many of us .. are ready to do it again. Are we really a nation of 'sheep'.. ??
Well, its something to think about.!
Here is an interesting story that needs to be heard. Acupuncture treatment offered free for veterans: 'It's aim to help with post-combat stress'.
Another site I wanted to share: National Vaccine Information Center:
This website was created to provide you with the information you need to make an informed vaccination decision.

One of New York's Bravest
I just had to blog about my cousin, Dean Tartaro, a New York City Firefighter. The head line reads:
Bravest save 5 in daring rescue from Coney Island cruise nightmare.
To read this article please visit: New York Daily News page
It is still a humid hot day here in the Bronx. My garden is so lush and blooming.Today a baby Blue Jay fell out of his nest and the parents were very loud and boisterous about it. I gently picked up the baby and placed him on a fountain that is not in use here. He seemed ok .. just frightened.
The parent Blue Jays were letting me know that they were not leaving their little one, so I quietly went in the house, waited around 20 minutes, went back out to check and the baby Blue Jay was gone.
I'm hoping the parents took him back to the nest. One never knows with nature. So I will hope for the best.!!
Be sure to care for your skin, especially when in the sun. Moisturize and remember to use sunblock, drink lots of liquids and hydrate your skin when ever possible.
My favorite to use is the Geranium Hydrosol or Rose Hydrosol, to read about hydrosols, please visit our page: SunRose Hydrosol Page.
Also, for sunburns, rashes and moisturizing your face our cooling Aloe Vera & Seaweed Gel is just wonderful for your skin. For more information please visit: SunRose Aloe Vera & Seaweed Gel.
The lazy days of summer are upon us .. or 'summer hours' .. it is so important to remember to take some time for yourself and rest.
until next time,
Rosanne

Summer Solstice ~ This & That
Solstice Moon Illusion ~
June 16 , 2008: Sometimes you just can't believe your eyes. This week is one of those times.On Wednesday night, June 18th, step outside at sunset and look around. You'll see a giant form rising in the east. At first glance it looks like the full Moon. It has craters and seas and the face of a man, but this "moon" is strangely inflated. It's huge!
A shout out to one of our very own locals:
Dr. Mike Shapiro is a long time family friend, and someone that has helped me thru the years. A true healer in his own right, if you are in the area and need a chiropractor, he is the 'go to' guy.! To read more about Dr. Mike and what he does, please visit his website: Dr.MikeShapiro.com
On the Essential Herbal list that I am on, Sue over at Farm At Coventry, spoke about drying herbs .. with her permission here is the post where she describes the process:
It's almost too simple ...
- Harvest herbs right after dew dries on a sunny day
(with the knowledge that the next few days will be dry and sunny)
- Put small amounts of herbs in paper bags being careful not to load it up to full.
- They have to be able to breathe.
- Keep the doors and windows of the vehicle closed.
- You can either put the bag in the trunk or the back seat.
- Give the bag a shake a few times a day.
- By the third day they should be completely dry.
Note:
(I have dried lemon verbena completely in 6-8 hours in a hot car!)
Fleshier leaves will take longer.
We dry all of our calendula flowers, mints and oregano this way.
They dry very crisp and retain the color. Its amazing.
I will never hang bundles again in this humid old PA farmhouse! You'll? just need to bring them in, strip off the leaves and IMMEDIATELY store them in a dark place in an airtight container.
My best advice for this process is to harvest small amounts at a time.
One time I harvested all my oregano at once and decided to put down the back seat of my SUV , lay down a cloth tablecloth, then all the oregano and cover it all with paper bags. My car smelled like a pizzeria for a week until it was dry! and it took forever to get it stripped off and put away.
Remember:: Only pick what you can comfortably process.
Sue said credit for this information should be given to Jim Long at Long Creek Herbs .
Well, Summer is officially here.! Don't forget to stay hydrated, drink plenty of fluids, and protect your skin. And remember that little children and the elderly on really hot days need extra attention.!
Summer veggies, farmers markets, bounty from your garden, fresh cut flowers, the ocean and just relaxing .. the lazy days of summer are here. Be safe and enjoy,!
