you took me back to my childhood; dad used to bring home slippery-elm extract, a kind of powder that we had in warm milk.

So glad to see you still here doing that "creative" blogging that you do.

Blessings!

Good to see you here again, Avant-garde--

though lately I have been away either on the road or turned more inward than out, so i didn't see you until just now.

Loving your pictures--old home for me, the east, and I miss jewelweed, for one, and fireflies, and drives down the Blue Ridge...  One of these days, though, I'll point the truck in that direction and just keep going.

I'm almost sure it is one of the ingredients in my throat coat tea.

Really helps a scatchy sore throat.

I find these leaves familiar, but we do not know these as slippery elms.

We've got another name for it which I can't recall. What's its biological name, I wonder?

I believe slippery elm is a component of several natural meds

used to regulate digestion.  And they're pretty, too.
