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.
