Last calendar month at this time, Molly had decided to become across the province alongside her cousin to reckon what the due west coast had to offer. She took tending of a big festival for us, finished off her daytime job, tearfully said goodbye to her internship (and dear mentor Susanna) at The Rosemary House, too seat nearly packing too maxim goodbye to her friends.

Maryanne too I took fourth dimension out afterward finishing the Sept/Oct lawsuit to attend the Sage Apothecarian Gathering inwards Syracuse NY terminal weekend. There was a swap, too I signed upwards for it, deciding to brand incense. Thought I'd percentage it here, since I absolutely love it. I should banker's complaint that the sandalwood has been some hither for at to the lowest degree a decade (or more) too nosotros grew the white sage.

Giant chunk of pinon alongside a piffling white sage, too tiny examination cones.

blended powders, ready to mix alongside liquid

Combine all ingredients to cast a paste, adding to a greater extent than H2O if it doesn't come upwards together (like play dough) or to a greater extent than of i of the powders if it is likewise wet.
