CHOCOLATE MINT, CHIVES and OLD GARDEN TOOLS

Just a quick look at part of my herb garden.  Growing here is some wonderful chocolate mint and chives . . yes it is flowering!   My herb garden is bordered with natural rock from our property.  This is the south end of it and I've just displayed some old garden tools from our family farm on the rocks here.   The fork part of a potato fork, a hoe and rake, all of them without their handles . . . .   memories of the farm!

REAL CHINA SETTINGS . . . for an OUTDOOR DINNER

Robin and I were able to join several glamper sisters at the Farm Chicks Gathering near Spokane, WA during International Glamping Weekend (end of May/beginning of June). Our second night there was a potluck dinner but this is the setting that was so graciously and beautifully designed for us.
Several campground picnic tables put together in one long table, real linen tablecloths and some of the most beautiful china settings I've ever seen.  And the flowers were from the garden of Juli who lives near Moscow, Idaho.
Talk about making a glamper girl feel special!   And, yes, we did use the china and there were some girls all ready to wash it all when we were done.  AWESOME!!!
