Ronni, where do you come up with these things? Cute, very cute.
It is pretty, and probably the only way to keep mint from taking over! I couldn't do it, no way to stick in an herb that followed me home, but I...
Welcome from central Texas! We have plants, coffee, and a calico cat (also hens and bees) so we must have all we need, too! We need to see...
