it was an "herby" day

it was hot! very hot. I don't "do" hot very well anymore....so I got the kitties all taken care of, and my horse wiped down with a cold cloth and concentrated on working on the dried herbs on the racks. The kitchen smelled of peppermint and bermagot, lavender and a bit of lemon balm. the Sweet Annie is not ready yet and that always messes up my sinuses.

I checked out the grape vines, they are fully loaded this year so besides juice I might try to make grape jelly, never tried it before.

it was 96 and felt like 105 so I basically stayed in side unless I had to go out.

I made several bottles of Lavender vinegar to seep for gift giving later.

I'll try to blog more often, I am still very new at this. :)

blessings to all
