I spend way too much money on magazines only to find there is one article or a couple of pictures that I really like. Not so with the Essential Herbal Magazine which is chocked full of information on all things herbal. Recipes, herb information, and crafts are found in each issue. Want to check it…
Jasmine Moon Reopens
I closed the shop the week after Christmas, and for the first two weeks in January. My father has been ill, and my parents needed my help. It was also a good time to renew and get refreshed to start the New Year. Here are some pictures taken of the shop: I like to use…
Dreams
Life has a way of putting your dreams on hold, but then, just as quickly, reawakening them in you. You realize they weren’t gone, just asleep for a while. I want to thank Maureen at Herbworld (http://www.herbworld.com/) for suggesting a book in her latest newsletter. The book “Make Your Creative Dreams Real”, spoke to me…
It’s gonna be a long winter
Today was a gloomy rainy day, and only 50 degrees outside, but I am already anxious for next spring, and next years garden. Not a lot can be done in the garden this time of year, but the long cold winter days are great for dreaming of next spring. I am going to start a…
Jasmine Moon Photos
I love this potting bench (or bakers rack) made from reclaimed materials; an old door, a window with a mirrow behind it, and the legs from various tables,beds, etc. On the bench is an old enamel pitcher with hens and chicks, and an old rusty tool box with ivy. Beside the bench is an old…
Pictures of the Jasmine Moon
This picture shows an old wicker chair that would look great under a tree, with a sign (this one says “Plant it Here”) or cradling a fern. On the counter at the back are some great concrete Egyptian goddess heads. Tucked in a plant, or a fun suprise as you stroll in the garden.
ICE campaign
As a critical care nurse I know how important it is to have accurate medical information and the ability to contact a patients family in an emergency. As I was checking out the blogs of a number of people on my “bloggers group”, I came across this post on SunRose Aromatics blog. It involves a…
The benefits of lavender
I am down to one large lavender plant in my garden, and next year I have plans to plant many many more. Lavender plants tend to weaken with age, and often need to be replaced every 5-6 years. After our vegetable garden was removed in September, I decided to relocate and replace many of my…
Practice Thankfulness
I have been feeling a little sorry for myself the last month. Our shop ‘The Jasmine Moon”, has had a rough time along with the other merchants due to streetscaping. The project was to be completed mid September, but the sidewalks have not even been poured. One of my yahoo groups involves a band of…
It’s Fall Ya’ll
Officially fall arrived September 23 around 5 a.m. , but you wouldn’t have known it here in North Georgia. Temps hovered in the 90’s, and I was still in shorts and sandals. But, finally Saturday and Sunday, while still in the 80’s a cool breeze and even cooler nights, made it appear fall may have…
