Update From Last Post

Getting the rescues!

Just got a reply from the gal with the rescue ducks, she will even drive them to me because she lives close to the city and this small town girl does not "do" traffic! I offered to meet her half way which is coincidentally the limit to my journies.

Here is their picture (the one is not very photogetic it appears-my clan will have to work on that with it lol!).

And here is their story, LOVE IT!!!

We had these two ducks since they were babies.
We found then scared and lonley in our backyard, we didnt have to heart to just leave them out in the cold so we took them in and fed them.
After having them in our house for a couple of weeks we let them go but they kept coming back.
We would like to find a home for them but we have not had any luck in finding them a good home.

If you love to nuture animals and you have a good area for them to run around on then they will be good for you.

This is so neat because I have been looking for several months now in different places online for a situation like this because my preference is a rescue situation. The Lord works in mysterious ways...even for ducks and crazy duck ladies!

Hope this helps you come up with some more name ideas (I even thought about calling my niece to see what my great nieces, almost 2 and 4, thought of for names).

I'll keep you all informed and thank you!

For Him...all for Him,
Kendra

Kendra, you are a peach, what a wonderful story and what a great ending now that they will be safe and sound at The Stone House! Hmmmm, names, let's see; Pekin ducks are white so how about Snow and Blizzard, you can call Blizzard 'Blizz' for short :O) We've had so much snow here that I can't think of any other 'white' related names that aren't associated with snow! Can't wait to see them safely in their new pond, bless you my friend <3 Deb

Oh that is so neat...what is the town they are coming from? Would that work for a name? I like Elmer as a duck name, not sure why just like it! LOL
Be blessed,
Cindi

They are very healthy looking and beautiful. My goodness, He does work in mysterious ways as they were sent your way for a reason. I'm so happy for you :) I would name them after characters out of the bible.

Essential Oils

I have spoken of and shared some of the benefits that I am familiar with lavender essential oil and it seemed to spark a lot of interest so I thought I would share some of the bit of knowledge that I have on other various essential oils, their uses and benefits.

After using an essential oil be sure to wash your hands well so as not to risk eye contact or contact with something that it may stain (it is oil and just as veggie oil would these oils will make a greasy stain...it'll just smell better.)

Essential oils can be used in a variety of ways:

as a sleep aid: rub 1-2 drops gently into temples or apply to sternum

as an aid to sore, achy muscles: rub a few drops gently inta affected area (s)

as a bath oil: add 5-20 drops to running bath water

as a decongestant: in a bowl of hot water add a few drops of oil, place a bath towel over your head, and inhale/breath in vapors or put essential oils directly onto chest

as an air freshener: 5-25 drops on new furnace filter

5-10 drops into running dish water

5-25 drops into new vacuum bag

I also add 5-10 drops to my homemade cleaners

as a perfume: apply to wrist, elbow, crease, behind knee, sternum, or neck or add to body lotion

as a pick-me-up: apply oil to a cotton ball and sniff

as a room freshener: add 5-20 drops into an empty glass misting bottle then add distilled water, leave 1/4" at the top of the bottle; shake well

*oil can be applied to the soles of your feet if you do not care for a scent but still desire the benefits

*do not apply oil to face; with the exception of lavender; I do apply tea tree directly to pimples

* do not ingest oils

I am Here is where I am simply going to share some of the knowledge that I have of certain essential oils and their therapeutic uses/what they are used to alleviate symptoms of. I hope to add to the list weekly if not more often.

Not alphabetical (sorry, I did it by my faves LOL!)

prices are per 1/2 fl oz

Lavender: approx. $11-

burns, inflammation, cuts, wounds, eczema (Hiney swears by it!), dermatitis, fainting, headaches (I swear by it!), flu, insomnia, hysteria, migraines, nausea, nervous tension, infections, bacterial conditions, sores, ulcers, acne (my preference), boils, asthma, rheumatism, arthritis

This is my fave. to add to dish or bath water and to my homemade cleaners, calming, relaxing scent.

Citronella: approx. $3.50

as an insecticide, deodorant, tonic, stimulant

Put a few drops on a cotton ball and rub on underarm area or apply to exposed skin (not face or other sensitive areas) as a bug repellent. I have been using this as a deodorant for a few weeks now, WOW! what a difference and no harmful chemicals.

Tea Tree: approx. $7.75

use for fungal infections, viral and bacterial infections, colds, flu, cold sores, warts, verrucas, inflammation, acne, burns, candida, shock, and hysteria

I love this one for rashes, I must have gotten into something on that kayak trip and I have had a rash on my arm since, well I started rubbing tea tree oil onto the rash and it starting to settle down now...maybe coincidence but I like to think it's the oil.

Eucalyptus: approx. $5.50

sore throats, coughs, bronchitis, sinusitis, skin infections, ulcers, sores, rheumatism, aches and pains, as an antiseptic and as an anti-inflammatory

I use this on my feet when they are really aching, rub on with a cotton ball and put on socks before climbing under the sheets at night!

Peppermint: approx. $7.50

inflammation, nausea, indigestion, fevers, flatulence, headaches, migraine, liver problems, arthritis

This works wonderfully for achy muscles and headaches, just put a few drops on a cotton ball and rub on achy area (works great on shoulders and neck) or put a drop on each temple for a head ache. Chewing a piece of peppermint gum works great for settling an upset stomach.
