gardens

The girls and I planted some herbs in Lynne's yard that are perennials in Michigan. We planted Thyme, Oregano, Lavender, and Echinacea. We also intend to scatter some Mullein seeds before we leave. Lemon Verbena and Rosemary are said not to winter well, though they are doing great at the Matthei Botanical gardens in Ann Arbor. They might cover them, or move them? We saw a Massauga rattle snake on the trail there last week. We read on line that they are not nearly as deadly as the diamond back rattlers as you have more time to get the anti-venom. There were also pictures of rattle snake bites. Yikes. The Massauga rattled at us three times. It began rattling before we even saw it. It saw us first. We are maybe not the quietest people on the trail. Woop- Woop. Oh speaking of wooping, I had a glass of wine at Melange in downtown Ann Arbor called Woop-Woop wine, with sushi at happy hour. Yum!
