| Birds of Paradise from the garden, picked by Dada for the sniffling ones |
We've had a week of it and copious amounts of ginger tea, Mama soup, oil-burning, cough elixer (this one by
Weleda), a few lavender baths and 'Eucalyptus Hankies' (a little splash on a handkerchief stored close by for sniffing - remember that from childhood?) and oh so many books and hugs and 'homeness'. Antibiotics were required for me but the others escaped them. I am ever so grateful that we have antibiotics as an option, when needed, but it's also great to know they've had success at fighting this bug on their own - this time at least (I'm sure they'll be a few more bugs about this winter).
Back to the books, our current favourite books include
Dr. De Soto,
Autumn and anything
Shirley Hughes or
Elsa Beskow (the latter two authors are ALWAYS a big hit around here).

| A little hail storm to remind us that we're not missing anything out of doors |
