At the cabin on July 16

I took this picture of the cabin this morning.

A hummingbird was trying to get nectar out of the red reflecting lights on the pickup hood.

Becky took a long ride up the canyon this morning.

While she was gone, we were cold so Dad turned on the heat and we wrapped

up in blankets.  Becky thought we we crazy of course.

I'm sure she will tell you about her long ride and what she saw.

Dad watched one of this Sackett movies the Ottesons gave to him.

Dad tore the old picnic table apart which was above shed.

This is a very interesting plant.

SELF-HEAL - prunella vulgaris

The indians used it for a lot of things.

Chopped leaves, boiled in water, make tea used as gargle to heal sore throats and

mouth sores.  It was also taken to relieve fevers, upset stomachs and diarrhea.

Crushed plants were used as poultices to heal ulcers, wounds, bruises, sores and insect

bites.  It can lower blood pressure. 

Sounds like a cure all, therefore the name SELF-HEAL.

These plants are directly behind the cabin.
