It’s been so warm here in Salem that we have lots of fresh herbs for Christmas this year.
I consider them to be my own personal Christmas gift~
There’s little bits of dill popping up out front… not quite enough to cook with but there may be just enough for a bowl of carrots in a day or two.
I brushed my hand over lemon balm and was transported right back to July….
…in my mind, but it was very pleasant.
a few more days like this and we could have blooming lavender again.
There’s fresh growth on the sage…
…along with the oregano.
My rosemary plant that never quite made it inside this fall is full of beautiful fragrant foliage..
…same with the thyme.
And I’m putting fresh parsley in everything..potatoes, chicken soup, you name it!
Merry Christmas to me!
Love, love, love,
Michele

Merry Christmas, Michelle! Lucky you with the warmer weather. We have had cloudy, gloomy days for about a month. I really need some sunshine 🙂
