Throat report: improvement

Juniper berries on the ground

Thanks in part to Pooh’s (aka Cyclopath’s) reminder to me of the warm saltwater gargle, my throat is better, and hopefully the improvement trend will continue.

One of the paperwhite bulbs, planted about 10 days ago, has opened two blooms. I caught a whiff as I watered them. Our future is scented!
