First backyard mow of the season tonight—the yard is never quite the same two years in a row: this year, it looks like sweet clover and those weeds with the little purple flowers are the winners (I had a friend who called ’em “Mousie in a Canoe.” She was right. Turn them sideways and you can see it.)
So I think the weeds and dandelions subliminally influenced my evening choice. All the same, this is gentle, mellow, and peachily fragrant. A good spring steep.

I hope it will turn into flowers here soon too!
Wishing you some warmth and sunshine, inside and out! Milder weather and time outdoors is good medicine.
Serendipity! A friend just shared an article about my “mousie weeds.” I like that much better than “purple dead nettle.”
I see the mouse in a canoe.
Neat! It is not a familiar weed, but I see it likes alkaline soil and ours is very acidic. Perhaps that is why I haven’t seen it. I will be looking for “mouse in a canoe” now, though.
