a woolen sweater and lemon verbena

A cold morning, hence the woolen sweater, and my past week's herb harvestings deemed a morning's sweet chare of stripping the dried crunchy, fragrant leaves from the  lemon verbena's woody stems. 
I will jar up these pungent leaves and use them in teas and potpourri.

Beautiful sweater. Do you make your own tea(s)? I have never tried it.

Karen,
I do make some of my herbal teas, Lemon and peppermint being my most favorite.

who will feed the hummingbirds?

 ...while I am away.    The days are extremely hot and dry, being outside proves to be a test of perseverance in levels for heat tolerance. ...
