September in the Garden

Here's some catnip, lemon balm, culinary sage, basil, and beans that were growing in our neglected, but happily untamed and autonomous garden. Catnip is relaxing to the nervous system, lemon balm relaxes exhausted adrenals, sage prevents wrinkles and helps protect you from colds and flus, and basil has a wonderful diaphoretic property that improves the skin.

Hero and I are going camping this Saturday with a bunch of lovely families, my hard working husband will join us Sunday night. Looking forward to getting back to nature. My own parents were big campers, and I grew up camping several times a year. Now, I've only been camping two times in fifteen years, so I can leave my new Eva Gabor persona behind. Hahaha. I don't think a girl who went to her high school classes barefoot with bells on her ankles and liked to walk barefoot in the snow, could ever really be a hotel camper at heart. I think gettin' military with it, because our air mattress has a leak...but we have sleeping bags and a tent. First stop a campsite ten minutes from our house, next stop Sundance.
