Mardi: Herbal-Wise

As I mentioned over at Triple P, we are preparing for a "storm of the century" sort of scenario here in Anchorage. A hurricane has formed in the Bering Sea, and the weather prognosticators say we can expect winds up to 100 miles per hour in our area. Needless to say, that's a little scary.

So I went to the hoodoo cupboard to see if I could find a nice combination of herbs to create a "throw" to calm the storm - at least to some degree. Click here for a previous post on just this sort of situation.

I'm off to put together my sage and basil mixture, and hopeful encourage the worst of this thing to calm down before it hits us. Bonne chance to you all, and to us here in the Far North ~

It's "the perfect storm", Pauline. We'll ride it out tonight. I'll be playing the part of Mark Wahlberg to your George Cloney... Wait, maybe that's not such a good analogy.

Ouch; yeah - let's not go there...

Hey, your protection spell worked, Pauline! Almost all of our neighbors had trees go down or other damge and our house came through relatively unscathed... No power for 12 hours or so, but that was the case for pretty much everyone in our neighborhood at least... Well done, indeed.

So far so good. Now let us hope the boiler issue doesn't turn into a money pit...
