hearts and roses

No, not the kind you smoke!
I harvested my herbs today. I dried out some sage, rosemary, thyme, tarragon, and oregano. My counter looks like one that belongs to a dealer. Hahaha.
What I thought was going to be a time consuming, tedious task turned into a really nice, calming, relaxing, soothing time spent with the herbs I grew this year...drying the leaves and stripping them from the stalks and stems, measuring them out and bagging them up. I even created a blend from the contents that fell through my drying screen. The house smelled so good, I can still smell the herbs on my hands and fingers - nice.
I was hoping for a larger haul so I could bag some up as gifts, so instead I'm going to get some smaller ziploc plastic bags and create a blend. For the holidays, I'm giving family canned goods, homemade soap and these herbs. I am hoping to find old tins or baskets cheap (I saw some nice ones at Michaels craftstore) and put the items in there and then just tie a nice bow on it.
Anyway, I just wanted to share what a nice time I had.
