I think I’ve just too many irons in the fire right now - more in my head than in the fire. I guess I just feel like I have so much to do before it gets really, really cold in shutting things down around the place. I guess in truth it’s nothing new. I have to do it every year. I need to get everything safely tucked away, all plants covered and/or protected and the herb garden in shape for the Winter to come. I suppose it will just weigh on my mind until it’s completely accomplished. I’m very much the worry-wort. I certainly would like to change that one characteristic about myself but no matter how much I try it still hangs around threatening to rain on my party.
I was looking at myself in the mirror this morning, just finishing my hair and knew I was running a little late but not too late. Then it hit me like a bolt of lightning!! I was supposed to dig some red bee balm for my friend and drop it by her house this morning before I went to work. I began to panic and knew immediately there was no way I had time to deliver plants this morning. I quickly called her, apologized and ran to the garden to dig the plants. Hubby grabbed the shovel and did his best to help me . . . and I was off to work. Not a very good start to the day but not a total loss!! I’ll drop them off after work and at least all will not be lost!! I wore pink today and had found something online that I had been wanting to try for a couple months now. I need to buy more pink/mauve-colored blush and I keep putting it off. The kind of blush I wear costs $34 and I was too cheap to buy any more. I don’t wear pink often but I have a couple outfits. Mostly I wear browns and turquoises because I have auburn hair. I had seen online where someone had used hibiscus flowers as a powdered blush. I decided to try it this morning. I put a handful of dried hibiscus flowers in my coffee grinder and ground them to a fine powder. Took a very soft brush with just a very little powder on it, swirled my brush around on the lid of the container, tapped the excess off . . . and it worked perfectly!! I am tickled "pink".

AuthorMy name is Nina. Southern Indiana has been my home since 1952. I've been a legal secretary most of my adult life and for my leisure time I enjoy everything connected to the world of herbs and cooking is almost like a "fever". I am also quite opinionated but try not to push my opinions on others. My family is grown and I'm left with a wonderful hubby sharing life with me. I'd guess you'd say my passion is living that life to the fullest. Archives
