LOVE it! I harvest mint leaves each spring from garden, before they bloom, but I still use the leaves all summer long. I also grow lemon balm and the two together are delightful as well. This time of year tossing in a few raspberries is great too! Thank-you for sharing your 'view' with the rest of us. This is another marvelous shot of God's creation.
