Small tins fill of golden salve, a wee metal funnel, and a bottle of wintergreen oil rest on a metal cookie sheet.

Today is the day I make wintergreen salve! I picked the leaves in summer, infused them in olive oil for months, and today heat with beeswax and wintergreen oil. #WitchyThings #Wintergreen #WithMyHands #PreparingForWinter

Oh, the homestead life.

I knew winter wasn’t done with us yet.

We don’t use a generator- wood is our heat and our fuel for cooking when the power goes out.

It’s work, but worth it. For now 😂
