Hillfolk have a long history of utilizing their sixth sense to ward off trouble or eliminate toxic things from their lives.
I try hard to listen to my inner voice; often relying on those old-fashioned gut instincts and home remedies that served my ancestors so well.
I also like looking at the Farmer’s Almanac to find predictions about the weather or advice about the best dates for planting crops or tending to livestock.
At heart, I’m a country girl. I look for home remedies and natural solutions – just because so many times our grandparents had it right.
In fact, my Grandpa Herman could cure just about anything. Sometimes all it took was a little turpentine and sugar, horse liniment or kerosene.
