From our little plot of land here in downtown Provo...
We collected cottonwood poplar buds to make Balm of Gilead.

We visit the ladies; they're good company.

Harvested yucca root (which is plentiful here), peeled, grated, and soaked to see the saponins for ourselves.


Nona knit a wool sweater coat for Ezra (it's big enough for next winter and maybe the next after that too). I blocked it, sewed on the buttons and Ezra has been wearing it all over town.
The wool is thick pencil roving, it cost Nona a fortune but the result? So warm and I promise to hand wash it!
Besos!
