Sounds idyllic......

power went out this morning..everything was so quiet..it reminded me of my time in Alaska when every morning was like this...growing your own herbs have an almost magical ability to heal your body..lavender, lemon verbena, thyme, dandelion root...the possibilities are endless..

off-grid camomile hair rinse

in a jar you're repurposing-
2 teaspoons camomile flowers picked from your garden or
in a pinch-
1 camomile tea bag

1 c boiling water

1 tsp raw honey

2 tablespoons lemon juice or
in a pinch-
2 tablespoons white vinegar

Put your tea kettle on. Put in your glass jar your raw honey & lemon juice/white vinegar. Put in a teacup camomile flowers or tea bag and pour in boiling water. Let it steep for at least 5 minutes . Pour into your jar, stirring gently. Put on the lid and store in the refrigerator. This was enough to rinse my hair 2 times but i had extremely long hair at the time. Use as much as you need and leave on hair 10 minutes and rinse with rainwater or spring
water .....

you will feel the silence when you live in the bush..but you don't have much time to dwell on it because you're so busy during the day, chopping wood, wrapping pipe, tending the fire(incredibly important when the temperature drops below 0°)
