Tried to do my good deed for the day and update this, and I can’t get the new picture to stick. I realize the company wanted to freshen up the name for marketing purposes, but (sorry) this will always be Pappy’s as far as I’m concerned. Just like your parents who insist on calling a restaurant (hospital, theatrical venue) by its old name, even though it was changed 15 years ago.

The atmospheric adventures are continuing in our neck of the woods…today was our fourth(?) adventure in the tornado shelter in about two weeks. Today’s storm has passed, but the air is still soupy, which kicks up my craving for something cold. A goodly stretch of stress eating has kicked up the need to detox a little, which is where this comes in. There is absolutely no hard science to back it up, says the Internet, but a good dose of sassafras almost always helps me feel less clogged and more perky.

A sassafras tree has come up in my yard. I plan to take it my son on the farm for him to grow. I love the smell of the leaves and roots.

Hoping for soothed nerves,quiet weather, and perkiness for you!

I switched the picture, hopefully it’s the right one!

It is. Thanks! I was improvising with a Chromebook, which doesn’t behave like my trusty, aging laptop.
