Time don’t let it away
Savor the moments
Hidden in every nook and cranny
My grandpas watch in my pocket
Saying catch me if you can
You can’t bottle it or save it
So enjoy each precious second.
Tic tock tic time is a wasting
Don’t let it slip away thinking of what could have been yesterday
Or will be tomorrow
Off to my garden with fresh veggies and herbs
Did I say you can’t bottle Thyme?
I just did with my herbs in the garden

Good Morning Everyone ~
When I was digging up my garden to plant this year, I needed to take the well established Thyme out to make room for something else. So, I dried it and then bottled it and put in my seasoning drawer and it’s so fragrant and fresh. I also replanted some in tiny pots and dropped them off at about 20 friends doors in town with a note that said “Thinking of you during this strange thyme”. It was really fun to warm people’s hearts and bring some good cheer. For others I couldn’t reach, I sent thyme seed pockets to them in the mail. You might enjoy stealing this idea for your friends if you have the thyme.
Thanks for reading!!!!
Have a wonderful day enjoying your time.
Please like (if you do of course), comment and share if inclined.
I really appreciate it.
Blessings,
Cindy
