apple tree, peach tree, oregano for the medicine garden, and new ever-bearing strawberries
garden work
garden love
cutting flowers to bring inside
filling birdfeeders
making nectar for the hummingbirds - they've been spotted
hugging babies that smell of dirt and sunshine
"Happy Mother's Day, Mom," says little Madd. "And happy living every day."
a mother's day is a very fine sort of day, no?
Such beauty. I wish our weather would have been nice enough for garden work; it was my plan...but too cool. We got lots of work done inside though. Oh, and that last picture - it makes my heart long for a sibling for Isaac. <3
ReplyDeleteVery fine, indeed.
ReplyDeleteDo you have any recommendations on books for learning about medicinal gardening and medicine making?

ReplyDeleteMy very favorite herbal is Jude's Herbal Home Remedies. It's practical, and has lots of different recipes for lots of different ailments and home stuff. I love it because while many things I do not have access to (living in the desert of the west) I can find a substitute recipe or plant in the book.
It's practical, easy, and very, very helpful for me.
such sweetness!! looks like a lovely day!
