Brigitte’s autumn hideaway

On the first January we went the long drive over gravel to the end of our road.

We saw some calves who looked so cute.

Especially this one got my attention and I thought without ear marks it could be a buffalo child

There are many high grasses and here and there we found some baeutiful thistles looking like little artichokes.

A little stroll and we reached the mullein patch we had visited before. (Please click here for a link to an older post)

The flower buds were still closed.

We collected some plants with roots to put them into water at home so I can collect the flowers every day for a week or two.

At the end we had a really big bag for tea and medicine. Please click here for a link to the other blog where I write more about the use of mullein.

On the way back we saw a Tree Tutu.

All parts of this plants are poisonous. So be aware to teach your kids not to touch the plant or eat it’s berries!

At home David helped me to make some tincture

Here is a pic of our leaf and root tincture which will be ready to use in 6 weeks.

We also made a yarrow oil which we use for insect bites or sprains.

And the red clover went into a water infusion to drink as a sweet yummy anti cancer tea. When ever you see red clover pick it and make an infusion it is worth it
