Reblog if your profile pic is actually YOU .

Don’t fall in love with a woman who reads, a woman who feels too much, a woman who writes.  Don’t fall in love with an educated, magical, delusional, crazy woman. Don’t fall in love with a woman who thinks, who knows what she knows and also knows how to fly; a woman sure of herself.  Don’t fall in love with a woman who laughs or cries making love, knows how to turn her spirit into flesh; let alone that one who loves poetry (these are the most dangerous) or spends half an hour contemplating a painting and isn’t able to live without music.  Don’t fall in love with a woman who is interested in politics and is rebellious and feels a huge horror from injustice. One who does not like to watch television at all. Or a woman who is beautiful no matter the features of her face or her body.  Don’t fall in love with a woman who is intense, entertaining, lucid and irrelevant. Don’t wish to fall in love with a woman like that. Because when you fall in love with a woman like that, whether she stays with you or not, whether she loves you or not, from a woman like that, you never come back.

I can relate to this.

That would be a good place to start over.

Winter is coming. With it comes the chance of catching a cold, or worse. Here’s how to make your own “Forest Honey” that tastes great and is full of Vitamin C! 🤒🌲🍯🍵

About Pine Needles: • Large amount of essential oils • Strongly antibacterial • Used to treat many respiratory infections - common cold, flu, asthma, bronchitis, and pneumonia. • Smells like Christmas 🎄 • Pine needles are high in vitamins A and C. Fresh green pine needles have FIVE times the amount of vitamin C found in one lemon! 🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋=🌲

How to Make Forest Honey:

1. Gather a bunch of young, new growth pine needles. Small trees are best. 2. Rinse needles in water. Discard any brown, dead needles. 3. Bruise the needles all over to break up the fibers and release the essential oils. This can be done by twisting the needles in your hands repeatedly, or rolling a heavy stone on the needles, or lightly hammering them with a meat mallet. You could also cut the needles in half with kitchen scissors or a knife for easier handling. 4. Put the pine needles in a pot with enough water to cover the needles well. 5. Bring the pine needles and water to a rolling boil, then lower the heat to med/low and partly cover, letting it condense. 6. After about an hour, keep the water but strain out the pine needles, returning the remaining pine needle tea water to the boiling pot. 7. Bring to a boil again, then simmer, and add honey or sugar to taste, stirring frequently. I use about ½ cup of honey. Once it has condensed more and gains a syrup-like consistency, turn off the heat, let it cool, and store it in a jar or honey pot in a cool spot.

You could also do the Cold Process. Fill a large mason jar with several layers of equal parts honey, water, and pine needles with the cover on. Set the jar in a sunny spot for about 40 days, then strain into another jar with a cheesecloth for best nutritional quality.

Great with pancakes, toast, iced tea, biscuits, or eating a spoonful by itself! 🌲🌲🌲🍯
