Thistle, your life sounds so lovely. Is there a definite change in pace since the corporate world, or are you equally as busy with the care of the animals and property?

My herbs are in a single planter outside the back door. I have four: basil, parsley, coriander, and oregano. What do any of you recommend?

LAst night while sitting on the patio, Imentioned that I might run to buy some flowers. Ross said, "I thought we did that last weekend."
I said, "well, we still need to do the pation pots." I went to Home Depot this time and got some new guinea impatience (is that how you spell that?).
