Taking in the parsley

Well it is the middle of November and the sense that continuous freezing nights are coming is starting to get through to me and hence this ritual of taking in a young plant from the parsley patch. I like a little green garnish in the grey days of winter. Where I use to see the herb as a brightening touch of colour, now I also see, as a lay person, it as an illustration of fractals. Thanks to high school students and their science projects. I take my learning where I can.

 Besides the parsley I took in another herb, thyme, to dry.  Silver and Gold Lemon Thyme. Besides colours and fractals they have fragrances.
More in exuberance than in maturity I add Stevenson's line:

''The world is so full of a number of things,
I'm sure we should all be as happy as kings.''
