How was your week? I hope it was a good one. For us it was a quiet week especially compared to last week when I was shuffling the twins to school and back late into the evening every day for their school’s Winter Dance Production. Last Friday was their opening night and they had practices every evening leading up to it. I made sure to get tickets for their Friday night performance and what a phenomenal show it was! Almost two hours of dances performed by over 175 students to the tune of 25 songs. Just amazing. Our twins were in two dances this year.

Or is it that whenever I am working in the garden and happen to rub against a mint leaf I get a whiff of sweet fragrance making me forget the cares of the world, if only for an instant. I love mint so much that I even wrote an ode to mint. I just love mint. Continue reading Friday Flowers. Mint Blossoms→
