Todays' chore:  picking Dandelion flowers, rinsing them in water and removing all the petals. We were making Dandelion syrup. They were boiling the sugar water with Dandelion flavour when I left, last step. It'll be nice to taste when I get there next time.
I also looked through a book about making your own ointments. Straight forward recipes without too many strange or expensive ingredients. This will be fun to try out eventually.
