New Mother Nature Taken Over

Merry Meet,


Hail and good day to you…it has been a long week…you look tired…sit down and put your feet up…I am happy to hear you have been busy…I too have had much to do…

Massage has been steady…I am starting to reshape into a healthcare business…my certifications and credentials are starting to pile up…Walter will be making me a new sign…Dale and I have hauled all of my paperwork out of the storage room…this will help the clients know how I can help them…it will also allow me to have price changes for different services

School has been interesting…I am taking American Lit right now…I have already turned in 2 papers and started on my work for week 2…it is a lot of reading…quite intriguing pieces chosen for this class though…

American Boudica will be releasing a power point of herbs this week…it is free…please contact either Chris or myself and we will be sure to get you a copy…I had to send book 2 back to fix some errors I found…

The week was made interesting when for 3 days I had no voice…I had to laugh at myself…I sounded like a squeaky toy…I was fine and it really puzzled me why I had no voice…not even a sore throat

In the garden I will be fertilizing tomorrow…I only do this once every 3 months…compost tea and bat guano will make the beautiful garden grow…I have been cleaning out the plants all week and this will give them a good boost just before the weather gets cold…now that we are in hurricane season, the blooms have been coming big and strong on all the flowers…

Animals are the bizarre story this week…we have new sugar glider babies…I have only been able to peek at 1 and am not really sure how many there may be…I saw what I thought was a piece of burnt bread by the toaster…I went to pick it up…scared the crapp out of me…it was a bat…Walter let him go outside…I was a little freaked out….since the heat has broken, the fleas have been horrid…Advantage is a pet owners friend…

In the Circle of Boudica…it was a busy week…I released a holiday informational power point…I have counseled a few people…I hosted my open first prayer session…a wonderful young woman from Ireland got on Skype and sang to me an ancient chant…her voice was like an angel’s wing, strong and clear

Dad is getting ready to go to MA and has been busy around the house…Mom and Auntie will be home soon…Tristan got her new 4 wheel drive in time for the flood…she is now a Godmother…Dansir is enjoying her new job at the Olive Garden…Orlando seems to be agreeing with her…Erin has been working hard and getting ready for my visit…My grandaughter Lindsey is really enjoying the Ocean Wii game I sent her...I can not wait to take her to the beach...

The pool is getting colder…I am still rocking the white bikini…at my age it is important to take time for yourself each day…I use this time to meditate…to think…to review all I have taken in….at times even talk to myself…to work out those things people think you take so lightly…it has been an amazing summer…I am thankful for so much…the animals actually look forward to my time outside with them…the blooms and berries popping out have the birds fat and happy…there has been very few bugs in the pool…the water has been crystal clear…I feel very at peace…

Honey was widely used, a natural antibiotic and used to dress wounds and as a base for healing unguents, as was castor oil, coriander, beer and other foods.

Thank you for coming to visit…I made you a plate to take home…I will be holding a card game Wednesday…give me a call and let me know if your going to come…I would love to see you…may your day be short and the night be long and may the road you walk on be blessed and fruitful…

Blessed Be,

Lady Dorraine

Good Morrow My Flower

Merry Meet…you seem a little flustered…come sit with me…I made some citronella candles to keep the bugs away…how has your week been?


It has been a relaxing week…I got quite a bit done just the same…

The massage room has been deep cleaned and all padding washed…I pulled out and tested my paraffin tank and table heater…I will be placing my sombra order next week…if you need some let me know…it has been a busy week…I am looking for purple sheets…if you see some please let me know

We have opened the American Boudica Publishing Youtube page…tomorrow we will be taping and uploading…I am very excited

I have not found any good contracts up to bid on, but I am keeping watch

I have been on summer break this week from school…my next class up is computers…I am really thinking this will be cool…classes such as this teach some really cool tricks

I have started my seeds for fall crops - Anise (Pimpinella anisum), Sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum), Dill (Anethum graveolens) and Thyme (Thymus vulgaris)…it has rained for days…it is good as the ground can use it…I like the idea of the crape myrtle hedge to block the sun from the house…I will keep you posted as to how it works…

Since we have had so much rain, pool time has been limited…when I do get to go…the water has been freezing…this left me time to go through mail (snail and e) and autumn clean…I fixed hubby’s computer, made some great meals, washed the dogs and have been enjoying my time with friends

The stuffed shells were awesome…Walt felt special when I made him stuffed peppers…with so many fresh veggies around, I have started cooking ahead…pack it and stick it in the freezer…when I need instant food, pop it out of the freezer and into the oven…This way I cook 5 meals at 1 time…saves money and time…also because you cooked it, you know what is in it…I got into this habit when the kids were small and it has stuck with me…many meals lend themselves to this (meatloaf, casseroles, lasagna, stuffed shells, etc)…the herbs and spices really get the chance to penetrate…so if you are new go easy…

The Circle of Boudica is getting put together…I am happily awaiting my time…I feel really good about life…it is a unique experience and I am glad I get to be here at the start



Dill is a marvelous herb to the stomach and is really cool how its’ phytonutrients promote good skin…it is a strong herb…I love how the flowers pop like fireworks…very easy to grow in a semi sunny window



Dill Dip

3/4 c coarsely chopped fresh parsley

1/3 c chopped fresh dill weed (or 1tbsp dried)

1 c low-fat cottage cheese

1 tbsp lemon juice

1/2 c light sour cream or low-fat plain yogurt

1/4 c chopped green onion

1 tsp salt

freshly ground pepper

1Tbsp Honey (optional)


Well…it is time for me to go to bed…when you have time come visit again

Blessed Be,

D
