Fields of Rye and Cornflowers

I am still feeling rather under the weather, so again my post will be fairly brief! I have seen the lovely photographs of turn-of-the-century rural Russia before but Tiny Happy reminded me of them this morning with a link. This is a field of rye and cornflowers in the early 1900s. Do head over to the link and check it out for yourself - the full image is so lovely (http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2010/08/russia_in_color_a_century_ago.html)

Thank you so much for all your kind suggestions for battling sinusitis. Much appreciated! Enjoy your weekend.

A case of the sniffles

I like it when it gets cooler, I said. Summer's too hot, I said. Winter's a good time to get all snuggly, I said. You were there - you heard me say it. But I forgot how annoying my sinuses are once it starts to cool down. I am currently using two different types of nasal spray and the occassional antihistamine tablet but still I sneeze and sneeze...and sneeze. And then the headaches start :(

Bodecea has recently suggested using a saline solution to clean out the nose which has been great (thank you) and so I'm wondering if anyone else has some other good suggestions.

Yours in sniffles,

Feronia
