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.''
