This was from a short picking session with the whole family helping. My freezer is full! We're now giving away what we can't eat (or make ice cream out of).
The herb-and-flower harvesting continues. I get to make at least one quick pass a day and pick the things that are ready. I have read that dried borage blossoms make a nice tea. We shall see. They do maintain their bright blue color, but dry down to next-to-nothing, size-wise... When it cools down outside, I'll try it out.
And in addition to the bounty of the garden, I got the mother lode of surprise fairy packages from PG over at Middle of Nowhere! She knows me well, and sent a plethora of treats catered to me - chocolates and ginger cookies, vintage herb prints, "Miss Potter"(which I *loved*) brochure, a darling handmade fabric-covered book and a package of Gretel's chicken-print cards - and last, but not least, one of her paper cut cards which I had ordered from her Etsy shop. It is amazing! and is destined to be hung in the studio in a tiny little frame. Thank you so much Gretel. I love it all.
And now, I return to the studio for the next few days to finish up the next book cover.... At least I have treats and art and raspberries to keep my company. :-)
