Bloom and Harvest

{source}

Someday I'll have a garden just like this.

Summer is for... Gardening!

It's June 1, which, in my book means that summer is upon us! One of my summer goals is to garden. First project, herbs:

Basil is the symbol for love and devotion. {photo credit}

Rosemary is for remembrance {photo credit}

Mint, for virtue {photo credit}

Thyme, the herb for courage {photo credit}

Dill is disliked by witches {photo credit}

Boil roman chamomile for steam facials {photo credit}

The springtime of Lovers has come

The springtime of Lovers has come,
that this dust bowl may become a garden;
the proclamation of heaven has come,
that the bird of the soul may rise in flight.
The sea becomes full of pearls,
the salt marsh becomes sweet as kauthar,
the stone becomes a ruby from the mine,
the body becomes wholly soul.

Weekend Accomplishment

I gardened!

For the first time on my own!

Here's what I planted in my little front yard:

Autumn Joy,
Vera Jameson,
and Angelina.

So proud of my little achievement.
