JJ started with one wart on his hand. We used OTC treatments on the wart and not only is the wart not gone but it has sprouted four friends. The poor kid... one week before school... had five warts on his palm. We decided to try a home remedy that JJ researched on that big ole' world wide web- garlic! I thinly cut garlic into small slices which we put over the warts- and then covered with bright green duck tape. I like the idea of this remedy but I'm not sure it will work. First of all- by morning- the duck tape was off his hand and in his bed, and we have no idea where the garlic ended up! Secondly, JJ read that you have to repeat this process nightly for 3-4 weeks. I'm not sure either of us can stand smelling like garlic every night and morning for the next month.
Trying out something new. A new way of living. A more simple life. One farmer. One farmer's wife. Two boys. Two rams. Six ewes. Two goats. Two pigs. Three rescue kittens. Nine hens. Two bee hives. Room to roam. Room to get dirty. Room to grow in mid-west soil. A wary farm wife because this is a new life for our family. But God is good and so are fresh eggs.
