Grandma didn’t need a wellness app to remind her to go outside. She didn’t need a label to tell her an apple was healthy, or a podcast to explain the benefits of fresh air.

She ate food that looked like food, opened the windows, worked in the garden and enjoyed the sunshine.

Today we’ve taken many of the simplest things in life, given them complicated names, packaged them beautifully and sold them back to ourselves as “wellness.”

Perhaps good health was never meant to be quite so complicated.

Good food. Pure water. Fresh air. Sunshine. Exercise. Rest. Trust in God.

Grandma may simply have called it living.

Drying Flower Heads

Cut the flower heads in the early morning, after the dew has evaporated.
Harvest them when the blossoms are fully open.
Spread the heads on a cheesecloth-covered screen or tray. Place them in a shady, well-ventilated area or in a clean, warm, dry attic.
Once completely dry, remove the heads from the stalks by hand.
Store them in a clear container in a cool, dark room, and check for moisture over the next week.
If moisture appears, dry the flower heads again.
Transfer the fully dried heads to small, opaque containers and seal them tightly.
