Yesterday I went to Horn Seed Co. and had a long talk about wildflowers and herbs with the nice folks there.
Omigoodness.
I love that place.
Today my to-do list includes moving a bunch of 12" pots to the sunroom, filling them with soil, and planting these:
I'm especially excited about the lavendar, because I want to make some lavender scented water to use when I'm ironing our hankies and linens.
I'm also anxious to get some new rosemary established, because some teensy critters attacked the big plant I've had in my outdoor herb bed for several years.
And then there's dill.
Ahhhhh.
When there is dill growing in the outdoor beds, I can smell it from just about any open window.
Ahhhh, I tell you.
My to-do list also includes mailing several cards.
(Progress report: I'm still keeping up with that family calendar, and enjoying it.)
(Very much.)
This little card is going out today to someone I love.
Here are some beautiful things that are not on a to-do list.
They're just beautiful.
These are feathers from my Chicken-Raising Seester's guinea hens.
God loves polka dots, too.
Isn't this something?
Here are some more beautiful things my seester brought me.
These are quail eggs.
She wants me to put them on my to-do list.
She wants me to blow them out so I can save them.
She told me how much it hurts the quail to "deliver" these eggs.
I think she even told me they scream while they're doing it.
Because the quail are so tiny.
But so are the eggs.
And I'll probably scream when I blow them out.
