Hen-and-Chicks

Did you know that you can use Hen-and-Chicks for burns? The leaves contain tannins and mucilage that are soothing to skin. You can also use them skin wounds and infections. I didn't know this until just recently. I love this because I don't always have aloe around, but we have Hen and Chicks everywhere it seems.

Here is a page that shows all the different kinds, and boy are they pretty. Click here.....

These are one of my favorites, I love this plant. They are hardy and so great to pass down to your kids.

Okay, here we go again....LOL

It has been almost a year again.....where does time go.....and for that matter why does my shift key not work..... There is a new year coming up and I have a lot I want to talk about and to teach everyone. This may be a hard year for us and if I can get through it, it will be a grand year. I am still into gardening, couponing, homeschooling, staying at home with my children, saving money, preparing for the unknown and lots more....the lots more part is mainly stuff I need to work on in my life. God is so great and we love him so much. Hope you all can bare with me, my husband leaves for another deployment in Feb. and he will be gone for a year. Our kids are older now, they all will understand more about what he is going through while he is gone. Our son will miss his daddy so much, as will the girls. Please just pray for everyone, Feb. will come before we know it.
