Basil and Mint

Basil and mint both grow well here. This picture is from a while ago and was my most successful attempt at growing them for use in cooking. It was beautiful while it lasted - the plants succumbed soon enough to a mysterious malady.

Perhaps I Should Have Mowed Last Week

I am attempting to be more useful in the yard, and insisted that I would mow the grass... when I was ready. I left it a bit late.

I actually prefer the tall grass, which is very pretty when it waves in the breeze, but am consistently outvoted, so, hi ho, now off I am to mow.
