Yesterday Mother and I helped host a baby shower for a friend at my house. Here are a few pictures of the cake that was made by a friend's aunt who works at the Culinary Arts in town. Carrot cake with rich frosting. Yum!
These are a few pictures from my room. This is my hopechest where I am keeping special things for when I am married.
I told you in a past post that I had made a makeshift apothecary in my room. Here are some pictures:
Some of the herbs are store bought, but most are organically home grown. I love tending my herb garden. In the summer, when my garden is pruned, I will post some pictures, but for now it will still be a dormant mound of dirt. I like to ask people if they can guess what each herb is by its scent.It is fun to watch people's expressions when they sniff an odd herb.

Dawn

Paul Laurence Dunbar
An angel, robed in
spotless white,
Bent down and kissed the sleeping Night.
Night woke to blush;
the sprite was gone.
Men saw the blush and called it Dawn.
Grace,
ReplyDeleteI would LOVE some company planting my spring garden, if you are interested (the second week of April). I'd also like to plant some more aromatic herbs (currently I only have culinary herbs), any suggestions?
Hugs
