Potion Ingredients

by

 

Rabbit surveyed her storeroom collection of glass jars and bottles and vials, making notes on which tinctures, potions, tisanes, and syrups were running low.

 

Later that day, she consulted her grandmother’s recipe book, and came away with a long list of autumn ingredients she would need, including colorful mushrooms, golden leaves, and sticky black walnuts from the woods, plus plenty of flowers, herbs, seed pods, berries, and lavender from the garden.

 

As she made her lists and preparations, Rabbit received word from Squirrel that the witch hazel tree beside the cottage porch was in bloom. Which, of course, meant it was autumn harvest time.
