It's funny my sister often refers to Kappy's (a local liquor store) as the "happiest place on earth" ... not that we enjoy a drink mind you ... it's just that it gets her all warm and fuzzy when we walk through the door. Today I visited my "happiest place on earth" ... well next to my back yard ... my back yard is truly the happiest place on earth for me ... but Mahoney's in Winchester MA is #2 ... This place is massive and I could spend hours there and dream ... if only my wallet was bigger ...
This is where I bought Bernard last year ... he now grows proudly in front of my house ...
Funny that bleeding hearts are my favorite flower ...
So I got my herbs and they are in the pots ...
Nasturtium is edible the flowers are bright and beautiful in salads and very peppery
Mints ... Peppermint, Spearmint and Chocolate mint ...
Parsley and Cilantro
Basil
Lemon Balm and Lemon Verbena
French Tarragon and Pineapple Sage
Rosemary and Chives
Marjoram and Oregano
Savory
Thyme and Lemon Thyme
Usually having the herbs in makes me so happy ... today was bitter sweet ... I have my herbs and my bunny is hopping around my yard ... the birds are singing ... and I am sad ... but if the last 14 months has taught me anything it is that I am strong and resilient and whatever happens ... I'll be okay ...
Hang in girl. We have to do a catch up soon. It DOES make you stronger. AND you are not stupid, sometimes we just are too innocent for the world, but THEN we are SMARTER and STRONGER.
ReplyDeleteIt's all good girl ... I just find something everyday to smile at ... no matter how bad things get sometimes I just remind myself of how miserable I was 2 years ago and nothing will ever be that bad again ...
