Memorial Day 2017

     Monday was Memorial Day here where we give thanks to all those Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines who gave all for their and our country.  Sadly, for most civilians it is just a day off of work with pay and a  time to cook out and party down. As a veteran myself, I take a somewhat more somber look at the day. As the saying goes: All gave some, some gave all.

     During my daily prayers as I was asking God to remember my fallen brothers and sisters in uniform, I cried.

     Later in the day I got my fingers and toes in the dirt of my gardens and felt better as always happens when I do such. All the herbs in my herb garden are doing well save the peppermint which is nigh onto dead. I bought a big pot of rosemary normally $9.99 for $3.99. Saturday I'll go to the hardware/garden store that has the 50% off Saturday morning sale and see can I replace the mint. While there I'm gonna stock up on cactus and succulent seeds to add to the store for my little greenhouse/nursery business.
     Meanwhile, I've been harvesting and drying catnip for sale. I pulled up a few plants and roots and potted them to sale as live plants as well.
