I'm taking a quick trip to California and will be away for a few days. Sadly the trip is for the funeral of a dear, young uncle.
I leave you with a tiny glimpse of my latest little project for The Green Parent. This is a mini herb garden put together with help from my elves.
We're loving the longer days around here, the sun shone all day today - hope it's shining where you are too:)





Joanie-
I hope your trip is OK. I just made a similar journey (to Iowa) for a similar reason. Its a sad reason to return, but I hope seeing your family and loved ones and celebrating the life lost makes the journey bearable.
And how stinking cute is that herb garden? Goodness gracious!

I am sorry, Joanie, for your uncle and this sad trip ...
I'll have a look on your fabulous Liliputian garden until you come back. I should watch it before sleeping to have sweet dreams !

Its helpful to have this herbal garden,instead of buying chemical medicine.Maybe we should use herbal.
