Benefits of Rosemary

For those of us who are ignorant of the benefits of herbs such as rosemary, this article from Prevention Magazine is a good introduction: Natural Benefits of Rosemary. And as a neighbor, you can test it out yourself with a generous supply, as mentioned in an earlier post: How Does Your Garden Grow? And did I mention it smells so nice? Just crumple it up and leave it lying around... Happy Easter 2020!

Remembering How To Post

If you're a blog member, it may be such a long time since you've written to the blog that you forgot how to post! Well, have no fear, it's easy to do. Way back when we began this blog, in 2006, there are several blog posts showing how to join the blog and how to post to the blog. I found this visual demonstration posted in April of 2006: https://djnmarti.com/neighbors/blog/howToPost/index.htm
I wonder if it still works this way?!!

Another problem you may have is figuring out how to access your own blogger account. Well, it's pretty easy (I think!). Go to Google.com and sign in with your Google account email and password. If you forgot your password, click "Forgot password" and Google will email you a link to set up another one! Once logged in, in the upper right corner, near the icon or image for your account, is a 9-dot menu selector - click it, and scroll down until you see "Blogger". Click that to go to your Google blogs, one of which should be Chilton Chats. If you have several blogs, choose "View Blogs" on the top left. If in doubt - call me!
