My Herb Garden

My  blue terraced pot is alive this year,
Growing basil, chives, oregano and sage.
It sits on my patio in the filtered sun,
Ready for creative culinary inspiration......
              Maybe after I finish this glass of wine.

Hmm, how to feed a family of four from a 16 inch terrarium. The secret is to eat slow...and less! Had to throw that in, LNC. Love your contemplation of how to use the herbs. Have the wine first and enjoy your night! Love you! Carolyn
