I've seen places like that, and I'm almost sad that they are fading away. I have one of those old bottles, too. I found it at a still site in NY state. Back then I sometimes would not even take a lunch because I knew I would find an old overgrown apple orchard back in the woods next to a stone fence. Maybe a graveyard or two, a fallen down shack or a well. Or an outhouse with poetry scribbled on the walls.

In Appalachia, I talked to an old man who pointed out woolly mullein to me. He told of its medicinal properties, which I was unaware of.

When I found a mullein in my driveway in the first year stage, I let it grow. The second year it was taller than I am. Then it fell over and died. The year after that two new plants grew it its place, but this year nothing.
