Everything’s Coming Up Zinnias!

These Zinnias were first planted over 15 years ago!  One tiny packet of Cut & Come Again Zinnia seeds were sown in the Cottage Garden.  For a couple of years I kept the flower heads to sow the following year, but after a couple of years they started planting themselves!  I’ve not sown any seeds in over 10 years and now they are everywhere!

  

I love the bright colors – magenta, yellow, carmen, hot pink, orange……….happy flowers!

Sunflowers are so expressive!  This one is clearly happy to be alive!  Bees love them and so do the birds.  Actually the birds plant the sunflower seeds by knocking them out of their feeders    🙂

These are my new rain barrels!  I am so excited to have them!  I had gutters installed on my office/lab building and as you can see they feed into the rain barrels.  With 3/4 inch of rain, all the barrels are filled!

    The luteolin 90% may inactivate an array of enzymes involved in the cancer process. More about it, you can follow here: http://www.nfextracts.com/products/luteolin. In addition, it is also equipped with cancer-preventive properties such as lengthening the menstrual cycle, altering estrogen metabolism away from cancerous compounds.

  2. I am puzzled by my friend's comment about her skin, and how to make her a facial lotion or cream. She says: " My skin is really sensitive and dry, but yeah heavier creams tend to send my skin into grease overdrive –
    Oh you want oil on your skin why didn't you say so, I can make oil – here, here is this enough oil for you? How about now?
    Ok face, you win this round."
    What would you suggest I use in a face cream or lotion? Thank you I love your blog and website.
