Herbal Snow Art

Oregano Snow

Most of the Things I get to do today are indoor tasks.

Rosemary Snow

Two involved going out in the snow, and I nearly missed the first one of those.

Thyme Snow

When the snow has melted, there's no bringing it back to sit pretty and still for a long moment while I stroll admiringly by with the camera.

Greek Green Tea Snow

The chickens don't melt and will certainly be there after the snow is gone.  They can wait.

Herbal Experiment

Variety pack oregano 

I'm out of Oregano.  Many of my favorite dishes find this herb in the ingredients, so I really miss it.  Before I could put it on the list to remind me of the Things I get to do today while shopping for groceries, I smacked my palm to my forehead and said, "Well, du-u-u-h." There's a huge patch of oregano growing in my herb garden.







Scissors in hand, I marched out the front door to the space where oregano is shouldering out all nearby plants. Whack, whack and I had a fistful for the food dryer.





A few days later, the dried leaves were ground and ready to fill my spice container. But the smell was not familiar, dead-center, oregano.  I'd planted a "variety" seed packet in this space, and the "exotic" results I now had left me unsure.



But miracles are always in the wind.  Scruffling around in the freezer this morning, I happened upon my bulk jar of oregano and was able to top off the kitchen container.  Maybe if I eat more of this stuff my memory will serve me better and I won't need to do herbal experiments on myself.  Miracles are always. . . .
