sniffles

We were sick just a few weeks ago.  Just a little cold virus.  It took a while to make its way through the whole family.  Then just as we were all getting better, another one came.  I am really glad I had these dried elderberries stashed away.  Using this video, I made some elderberry syrup.  I think it’s delicious, but the kids aren’t really crazy about it.  Next time I think I’ll just use the berries and honey, omitting the spices.

I’m accepting this illness as gracefully as I can.  It’s a nice rainy day with some cool weather on the way.  A good day to hunker down with some good books, my knitting basket, and a cup of tea.
