It's a new month so I thought I would try to blog again. I have so many things going on my life right now and I would love to share some of them with the rest of the world, as if the rest of the world would be interested in my stuff. Anyway, I am going to let some of the thoughts in my head escape and see where they end up. I hope nobody gets hurt by my runaway thoughts, I really don't intend to offend anybody but I am sure that is what will happen so just send me a comment and I will respectively consider your views, now I don't promise to agree but I will consider publishing them unless they would hurt somebody's feelings beside mine. I have pretty tough skin but some of my other readers may not so don't be surprised if you don't see your comments published, especially if it contains ugly, hurtful contents.
So here goes, my first try at verbalizing my thoughts:
The Herb Garden
I have an herb garden, well a herb group, on my deck. It all started about a month ago when I asked for herbs and his help in planting a small garden for my birthday So on the day of my birthday my hh (handsome husband) and I went shopping and after scouting out all the garden centers in our town for the best prices and the healthiest plants, (not my method, I would just grab and go) hh, the thrifty shopper, and I retired to our favorite mexican restaurant where we proceeded to eat a healthy lunch consisting of a huge fajita burrito with a side of cheese dip and to compare notes on which garden center we would favorite with our substantial buying power:) After stuffing ourselves we were heading to Chick-fila to finish the banquet with a milkshake, (we were going to share it so it wasn't as gluttonous as it sounds and it was my birthday), when my sister send me a text, which I thought was going to be a Happy Birthday older sister message but no, it was a emergency, my nephew was having seizures so I stepped on the gas, ran through a yellow (red) light, to get to the hospital and didn't get back home until 24 hours later. Thanks be to God he recovered, which will be a later post.
Anyway, I have had to outfit my herb garden with herbs gathered willy-nilly instead of a planned out process. Which if you know me proably won't have happened anyway so now I have all kinds of pots on my deck with a variety of herbs growing in them. Leah (daughter #1) gave me a Bee Balm plant and it is doing wonderful. Sister-in-law found basil at a flea market a couple of week ago and HH bought me lavender at the same flea market this week. I had about 30 minutes to spare Tuesday so I ran in the nearest garden center and wiped out their $1 herb sale so now I have parsley, thyme, rosemary, verbena, chives and something that I am not sure about since I lost the tag. I have planted them in every empty container I could find. They are doing well and the next step if figuring out what to do with them.
I did get the most wonderful book about herbs with a gift card from my sister. It has big pictures and lots of information on how to grow them, harvest them, use them for medicinal and craft projects. Maybe I will be a witch doctor instead of a nurse. I bet I can find an online degree in it from some college for only $99. Let me know if you know of one so I can graduate before I am too old. Wait, I am too old now. Oh well, age is only a number but my number is getting mighty high.
All for now. Have to work tomorrow so crashing for the night.

Does #1 daughter mean that I am the winner of the daughter competition? After 25 years the prize is finally mine! And it LEMON balm that I gave you, not Bee Balm. Is that even a plant?
I am waiting for you to cook something with your new herbs AND a digital scrapbook card like the one you made for Myra on HER birthday. Tick tock tick tock. :)
