"Happiness will never come to those who fail to appreciate what they already have."

These are red Spiny Redberry (Rhamnus crocea) and yellow Sea Buckthorn, evergreen shrubs, growing on Peggy & Ted's property in Alberta.

 

"Sea buckthorn is an herb. The leaves, flowers, and fruits are used to make medicine.

 

Sea buckthorn leaves and flowers are used for treating arthritis, gastrointestinal ulcers, gout, and skin rashes caused by infectious diseases such as measles. A tea containing sea buckthorn leaves is used as a source of vitamins, antioxidants, protein building blocks (amino acids), fatty acids and minerals; for improving blood pressure and lowering cholesterol; preventing and controlling blood vessel diseases; and boosting immunity.

 

Sea buckthorn berries are used for preventing infections, improving sight, and slowing the aging process."

 

Enjoy your day and thanks for visiting:)
