Distraction
Y’all might have noticed that I haven’t posted much lately. That’s because our living room still looks like this
Yep, that’s the bed still in the middle of the living room. That’s because we are still working on painting the floor in Preston’s room. Once that’s done we can move the bed into his room, move all the desks and dressers from my room into the living room, and paint the floor in my room. So it’s going to be a couple of weeks before the living room is really livable. And it’s hard to sit and write a blog entry when everything is so chaotic. But I do have my distractions. And just in case you were looking for some distractions yourself. Here are pictures of all the flowers currently blooming in our yard.

Yes, indeed, that’s comfrey. There are several big healthy plants left behind by the previous tenants. Some naturalist/herbalist folks I know call it the “Aloe Vera of the Pacific Northwest”. Apparently, it’s good for everything (except you’re not supposed to eat it…hard on your liver I hear). It and Mullien are the two really popular ones. But an herbalist once told me that he recommends that *everyone* grow comfrey. Even if you have to grow it in a little pot in your apartment.
