For years I have had my own little chuckle in my garden. I have always planted parsley, sage, rosemary & thyme in a row, either in planter boxes or sometimes in the ground. When people ask for the "grand tour" (or should I say when I badger them into taking it) I just sweep my hands across them ala Vanna White and say, "oh these are just some herbs", all the while secretly hoping that someone would get my little joke. Sometimes I can't resist and will tell good friends but for the most part I just chuckle to myself or begin whistling Scarborough Fair....I know.... I am easily amused.
Yesterday I had the best time. For my Restorative Yoga Retreat Day I gave each of the attendees a clay pot filled with my little chuckle. I was positively giddy about it. I made a little sign since my seedlings are really small and it's very early in the season yet for anyone to be able to identify what's in them.... unless you know what to look for.... It's pathetic how much fun I have thinking of these people having my chuckle on their patios. Will they tell? Or will they whistle and see if anyone gets it? Course the little sign is a dead giveaway....
It was a beautiful day yesterday, warm and relaxing....ahhhh....I love my job. I love that people want to come and play in my back yard. Mmmm....
Are you going to Scarborough Fair.....?

Your welcome Mom, thanks for making the day so special!
Oh, good grief, Yolinna!. I am so your twin or something! I do that sort of thing and always have.
That's why people USED to think I was strange.
But my good friends know and appreciate this odd minor trait so it turns out quit fun for me.
I love the idea of the potted herb seedlings and you are so original!
