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.

Delightful poetry, Cindy. Time slips and flies. It is upto us to either become a puppet at its hands or catch up with it with all our might.
Thanks Rishika!
You are so right and that sounds like a great start of a poem or quote post!
Thanks much!
Haha, yes it does! I think I might just come up with something!

My son-in-law Clay and I had a bottle of thyme that we sent back and forth several thymes with humorous messages. It was an inexpensive gift for birthdays, Christmas, etc. Much fun. –Curt
Oh I love that. Great idea!!!
Time hey! It can be a very deadly when taken for granted!
That is soooo true. Life is so fragile!
I am sooo sorry!!!
Especially the poem is so soothing..you nailed it!

This is such a lovely idea: giving the gift of thyme to your friends! It’s a lovely poem too and so true, we need to savour every moment. I love thyme as it’s so versatile in cooking and adds depth of flavour to just about any dish!
Thank you Ingrid. I always find it fills me most when I am sharing so it comes back to me as week!
We sure do need to savor the moments alright. You are so right about thyme.
Thank you for taking time to read this and your sincerest message!-:)
a lovely meandering through time & thyme
Thank you Amanda!!!
I appreciate you readin and taking time to comment! 😀
My English thyme is just now getting nice and healthy—I use it in cooking. Some herbs do well here in Tucson’s heat; others expire. You are such a boon to your friends and what a poet!
oh lovely. It’s fragrance smells as good as it tastes. I bet rosemary does well for you there. Oh Thank you Karen. I appreciate that. I don’t usually write poetry and it yet I’m enjoying it. I feel so indequate with such amazing poets on our site here but it’s fun to do new things. Thanks for takiing time to read and comment!!!! ❤️

Thank you again for your time.

Yes sure! I have to learn too. Thank you!

“Off to my garden with fresh veggies and herbs

Thanks Nawazish!! Glad you liked it!
I love the way you twist things to give a end to a larger perspective. It is always my pleasure reading your work!!😍😍
awe, I am so touched and this means a lot since I hear that but never sure how I end up there. I appreciate the compliment.
😂😂👌🏾 the bottling of thyme is good humor
I just smiled
Glad it made you smile. Thanks for reading it and letting me know. ❤️🙏
A pleasure 😊
🤗🙏Have a great day!
Likewise’
What a great idea! I actually have regular thyme and lemon thyme and the lemon thyme smells just like lemon! Thank you for such a great idea!
you are most welcome. ooh, that sounds wonderful. ayou are wso welcome!
Thyme and time again, I suspect you’ve been reading my notes 😂
I certainly will take better notes. Remember I had to cheat my way through. Now at least I know we’re on opposite “Thymes.”
Hahaha, this is brilliant
Now my head is swelling and I don’t play basketball either. ha
That’s such a sweet idea and thoughtful way of appreciating friends! 🤩
Loved how you swiftly move from talking about time to planting thyme. (Time can’t be bottled but thyme can be) 👍😊
Thanks so much! Glad you liked that twist!
Most lovely poem”-Did i say you can not bottle Thyme,I just did my herbs in garden…..”most beautiful.
Sooper Dooper my dear friend. Sweet poem plotted nicely. Gardening is also one of my favorite hobby, and I do it whenever I visit my sweet home. Nice, keep it up dear.
The link on your note above doesn’t let me follow without an email address which I don’t use so I don’t get inundated. Hopefully, she can allow reader. Thanks!
Awww, but that’s my blog address friend.
So I thought.. I can’t seem to see her article? sorry, your site looked different to me this time?
Do you want me to like there or go to her site?
I need your review at my blog post “it’s never too late to start again” which is written by her.
will do… give me a few.. cra cra day!
Sure
👍
I was able to comment but not follow.. I don’t allow email posts or I get overrun with stuff.. Please make sure you tell her to allow reader. Ping me when it’s done and I’m happy to follow her..
She doesn’t have a blog😔, she just write for my blog💝. As recently I have changed my hosting plan from premium to business. Maybe that’s the reason it ask for email🤔. I think email won’t have any problem for you😘.
I see. Hope you got my comment. Why did you change? It doesn’t seem to offer any advantages and actually can be harder in some ways i hear. ❤️
Yeah, it’s a bit harder but I can manage it. It was the requirement of my SEO, friend.
Oh good, glzd it came through!
