EXTRA! - September October '24 Essential Herbal

 What is the Extra?

In between regular issues that come out every other month, we put out some extra content that is only available to subscribers, and it arrives automatically. 
Originally, the Extra was going to just be a great seasonal recipe or remedy, maybe a puzzle, or a little video.  That never happened.  Instead, the Extra is almost always a jam-packed mini-magazine.  The time may come when we have to do something less once or twice, but for now we are pretty amazed with what we keep sending!
We did put together the first 2 years (and soon we'll have another 2!) and you can check that out along with the table of contents HERE.

 Back to the subject...

September October 2024 - The Essential Herbal

This summer has provided lots of opportunities to rekindle friendships and meet new ones.  It's been a lot of fun and has held more than its fair share of challenges, too. 
I didn't realize how behind everything was until the last herb faire (actually tea festival) of the year was done, and I had a minute to look around.  We won't talk about the things that still need unpacking though.  Laundry is done, dishes are done, and we're working away on the Nov/Dec issue now!  So, seems like time to get the current issue posted.
