Heads up the Vernon Wellness Fair is this weekend  This fall, we are putting out the Ashtree Wildcrafting banner.  Basically treating the booth as if it were just another craft fair setup. Secondly, we are across the aisle from our usual location.  We are trying out our larger booth setup in that space. Our time at the Kelowna Farmer's Market is wrapping up the outdoor attendance this month. Book efforts have been slow over the summer, but I now have just 14 herbs left to go before moving on to the rest of my outline. Here's hoping without a mad-crash foraging season, that I can start making more speedy headway as we move toward Christmas. After 11 years of foraging, we finally found a large patch of field mint that did NOT get destroyed!!!  We got three harvests of it this year, and now have a blend where it features called "Cool Glades" in honour of the space where we found it. Soon we will have our 12 Days of Christmas sample collection on the table.  The teas have been chosen, and this year, it will be a "Bakers Dozen" selection because I wan't to include Cool Glades https://naturalhealthgodsway.ca/2026/10/22/vernon-wellness-fair-this-weekend-slightly-different-booth-location/

Some say they didn't have turkey dinner back when Columbus is said to have celebrated, but old books talk about wild turkeys. Pumpkin and squash also existed before the settlers, and some tribes were known to farm them, alongside corn and beans in a system known as "the three sisters" method. The traditional thanksgiving meal for the settlers, was no doubt an otherwise normal meal for the locals, but it was most definitely enjoyed in the spirit of thanksgiving. Even the cranberries are known to grow wild across swaths of the North American landmass, both low and high bush to this day. Thanksgiving is a time deliberately set on the calendar, to give thanks and show gratitude. While modern life is regularly turning itself upside down and spinning around these days, when we get off the bandwagon long enough to look around us, we rediscover just how much we still have to be thankful for. In Scripture, God commands us to be thankful. Psalms 100:1-5 KJV 1  A Psalm of praise. Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands. 2  Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing. 3  Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. 4  Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. 5  For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations. https://naturalhealthgodsway.ca/2026/10/11/its-thanksgiving-weekend-what-are-you-thankful-for/
