I don't really have a secret except that wearing my hair up a lot probably protects the ends. I don't really do any hair processing things either, like curling with heat, etc. As far as shampoo, I've used VO5 a lot but recently have bought the Whole Foods brand of shampoo because it does not have sodium lauryl sulfate.

I am trying very hard to be content here these days. Rue, you're sweet. :) It feels good to be happy at home, doesn't it? I know it makes me happy.

You make me want to put on a pretty dress and grow herbs ;) I found it hard to be content at home until I was in my early 30s. I think meeting Rich settled me, because I was finally happy to just stay home with him :) Beautiful post. You make me want to put on a pretty dress and grow herbs ;)

I especiall can relate to: " It’s sometimes a struggle when cooking wasn’t started early enough in the day and something quick must be purchased. It’s sometimes a struggle when the heart is not settled and “getting away” seems more appealing than taking care of household chores." We live in town and it is incredibly difficult not to be pulled away from home with so many things to do in town and so many food choices just down the street. Reading this post made me again love thinking of Monday when I hang my laundry (much to the chagrin of some neighbors) I think that was a lovely post. I especiall can relate to:

I really like that. I do feel that part of it is my age and perhaps being more content, but I think most of it is a condition of the heart and mind. Don't you? I think we can actually train ourselves to be content. Iris, you are going very well -- being content at home and using one vehicle. My hat is off to you! I have only 1/3 of an acre. I just cannot imagine having acreage and then running off to leave it each weekend! Lynn Louise, what a lovely quote. I really like that.

Iris, you are going very well — being content at home and using one vehicle. My hat is off to you! I have only 1/3 of an acre. I just cannot imagine having acreage and then running off to leave it each weekend!

I am running out! I have plenty of larger jars, but it is now on my list to get some small ones. I do want to do another tincture this year, but I'm really pushing it -- the summer is going quickly by! Lynn Michele, I wish I had more empty jars put up. I am running out!

I've enjoyed learning so much about cooking, baking and herb gardening. I feel fulfilled in that I stretched beyond my usual comfort zone! Just yesterday at a garage sale, I bought the perfect little glass jars (ten cents each) for some reason? Now, I know why--- to copy your sage harvest! Do you have any other plans for drying/harvesting herbs? If so...be sure to tell us! Your friend, Michele I’ve been very content staying home too, this summer!

Watching friends and neighbors jonesing for weekends away when they live in such fantastic places (some with acreage!), I wonder why they're so restless in their own homes. And after a lifetime of living in noisy, restless cities, being at home in my garden and woods in my little town is the best place on earth.

I found it very interesting that you talked about being content at home because I just read this quote on the Paper Whimsy forum …. “Like a morning dream, life becomes more and more bright the longer we live, and the reason of everything appears more clear. What has puzzled us before seems less mysterious, and the crooked paths look straighter." ~Jean Paul Richter, German Novelist, 1763-1825 Louise What a lovely post…..
