* Obstruction of breathing: Susun Weed, 72, of 416 Fishcreek Road, Saugerties, was arrested by Saugerties police at police headquarters at 4:39 p.m. Thursday and charged with the misdemeanor of obstruction of breathing and blood circulation. Weed was allegedly having dinner with the victim when she became upset because the victim, who was placing lettuce in a plastic bag while cleaning up after dinner, did not leave enough air in the bag and was “choking” the lettuce, according to a press release. Weed placed both of her hands around the victim’s neck and applied pressure, obstructing her airway for several seconds, police said. Weed turned herself in at police headquarters and was processed and released with an appearance ticket for Saugerties Town Court. An order of protection was issued on behalf of the victim.

I saw nettle in the ground for the first time while at my farm share the other day. The owner asked me if I knew nettle and I said indeed I did! Nettle has been my very trusted and faithful herbal ally for years. She then walked me over to this gorgeous, taller-than-I-thought beauty, and picked a couple of handfuls for me and told me I’m welcomed to all that I want. Super yay. 🌿 . “Nettle builds energy by nourishing deeply. Nettle is a rich storehouse of needed nutrients. Its protein, vitamins, minerals, and health-promoting phytochemicals recharge exhausted adrenals, rebuild flagging kidneys, and restore flexibility to the blood vessels. Herbalist EE Shook comments that nettle combats inflammation with iron phosphate, feeds the brain and nerves with potassium phosphate, and prevents blood clots with potassium chloride. Nettle leaf is known to tonify and strengthen the intestines and lungs too. It is a safe diuretic and does not disturb electrolyte balance while relieving edema. It is completely safe for use during pregnancy and lactation, improving the health of mother and child and enriching the milk.”~ Susan Weed . We are down to the last bit of nettle we bought from the lovely @mountainroseherbs, and we need some more rose petals too! And we haven’t even gotten started 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️but we can tell you that nettle and rose together are an absolute favorite, with a drizzle of raw honey.. a green, floral dream...💕 . . . #nettle #rose #herbalism #tea #teatime #nutritious #nourish #folate #allergies #alternativemedicine #holisticwellness #health #healing #susanweed #smallbatch #vitamins #minerals #energy #motherhood #motherhoodrising
