rosemary

A rosemary plant does better if left alone than fussed about too much. I do leave it pretty much to its own defenses and yet it is not the healthiest looking plant in the garden. I might have to propogate it with a cutting soon, specially as I am away from home for the next two weeks and don't want to imagine the state of it when I get back. I will have to hit town for some rooting hormones first.

Today is the last day of sunny may, it started off misty and gray in the early morning, with ominous pre-monsoon clouds looming overhead. I sat up in bed and did some sleepy eyed meditation and called upon the sun. And what do you know, my beloved, being driven off-course by a chariot somewhere in the heaven came by surely, with light, warmth and energy to start the day:)

Wondering how I could fill my late morning hours with something fun n creative, I decided to harvest some rosemary & mint and make a... herbal drawer sachet! With the approaching season of rain, cupboards and clothes get so dank and musty- they could use a little herbal freshener. Also mint is excellent as moth repellent.



et voila...;)
