How to make the healing tea from purple flowers Regarding the possible healing properties of the little purple flowers, Joyce Coomer has provided the recipe for tea: If anyone is of a mind to make an infusion of fresh Dead Nettle leaves, clip them off the plant, rinse and place in a teapot. Add 1/2 cup of fresh leaves for every 8 ounces of boiling water. Steep for 10 minutes, then strain. Sweeten to taste with honey, stevia, or coconut sugar as desired and enjoy! If you have a tea strainer ball, you could put the leaves in it and wouldn't have to strain after steeping . . . might need to steep a little longer to get full flavor and benefits. I don't drink tea - am just questimating on this. - Joyce 2020-03-18 21:21:12 | Comments | Printable version

LWC Extends online learning for the rest of semester Following CDC-recommended new guidelines in fight against coronavirus By Venus Popplewell LWC Director of Public Relations Lindsey Wilson College students will take all classes online for the remainder of the semester. According to Lindsey Wilson College President William T. Luckey Jr., college officials made the unprecedented decision on Wednesday in response to a recommendation from the Centers for Disease Control to discourage gatherings of ten or more people. "While we have been hopeful to finish the semester in a face-to-face delivery mode, each day that possibility has continued to become less prudent," said Luckey. "Earlier this week, the Center for Disease Control recommended we not gather in groups of 10 or more for the next eight weeks. That projects into the middle of May and far beyond the end of the semester. Consequently, all classes will be delivered in an online format through the end of the semester." Lindsey Wilson initially announced the transition of face-to-face instruction to online instruction last week -- an arrangement that was intended to end on March 29. At the time, the college was unsure if the new arrangement would remain for the rest of the school year. The college also announced plans to close all residence halls.

Kentucky Color: Hwy 704 pictures take me back Also hoping John Chowning will provide details on the "Coon Den Holler", the "Barger Place", "Puncheon Camp", "Box House Hill", the "Landing Field" and so many others including how the "John Hollow" got its name. By Billy Joe Fudge The pictures of these two iconic homesteads are in many ways the anchor properties of one of the most scenic byways in the Great Wooded South. This statement in no way diminishes the splendor and importance of the swinging walk bridge at the Grider place and the Amandaville community with its magnificent country church. So many landmarks, so many hollows, so many properties, most with names of folks, families and or events that are slowly fading into the annals of the past.
