Thymebalm

After due research, I've ordered these.

Mintleaf Bee Balm (Monarda Fistulosa) - Grow Monarda Fistulosa seeds for this attractive and useful perennial plant. Also known as Wild Bergamot this perennial is an upright growing plant which spreads out. It has a lovely lavender blossom and distinctively aromatic foliage.

Creeping Thyme (Thymus Serpyllum Mother of Thyme) - Edge the borders of your herb, flower or vegetable garden with Mother of Thyme seed. It is low-growing and spreading, with spikes of lavender bloom clusters. Mother of Thyme blooms all summer long, and the foliage is an evergreen in most locations. Easy-to-grow from Creeping Thyme seeds, this creeping plant is also used between paving-stones or bricks in walk ways. It has a highly fragrant scent that rises up to greet you as you walk along a pathway of Mother of Thyme. It is a hardy perennial, handling summer heat and winter cold. Once it is established is can withstand periods of drought although moderate watering helps it perform its best. Butterflies and bees devour the Mother of Thyme herb blooms yet deer and rabbits seem to leave it alone.

Herhimnbryn sent, made, the most gorgeous card, which D insists (not that I objected) needs to be framed.
Correction "Glad you like it. I didn't make it though ( I wish)!

It's by a local-ish artist, I like her work and it can be found here....."





Read a few weeks ago about the Ash Wednesday Storm. I was always told I was born in a blizzard, my mother rather glad to be sitting in a hospital for the duration. Seems like my blizzard joined up to become the system to hit in the following week. Awesome.

Got some of the vanilla spumoni gelato to have with the gingerbread tomorrow, since I'm not fond of cake. Rather like christmas, we figure having sufficient food on one's b-day is important. That, not being at work, and not answering the phone make it exactly what I want. D is the only one I will accept fuss from.
