    oh, lisa! I love that book you recommended: A kid’s herbal book. Now I just need to find some of those herbs and try some of those concoctions.THANK YOU!!

    I also bought some edible lavender and can’t wait to put some in my tea. :) Thanks for the idea on your other post. I’m starting to like the scent. Before, I thought it was too strong in the scent bags.

    Beautiful pictures! Spring is my absolute favorite time of the year. We’re just now starting to see a little bit of green poking its way through the ground. I can’t wait until the flowers start blooming here, too.

    Ah, Spring has really sprung where you are! I did see some crocus in a neighbor’s yard the other day. But that’s about it so far.
