A Fun Surprise


I have had this little clipping of a Rosemary "Tree" pinned to one of my bulletin boards, inspiration board, if you will, for probably 6+ years.  You can see it has a tear and multiple pin holes as I've moved it around. I'd been hoping to grow one.


When my daughter came home from college for Christmas she brought me a surprise!  The most beautiful, simple, Rosemary Christmas Tree!  It smells divine.  


I found a couple of recipes that use rosemary but haven't made them yet.  The trick will be to keep it alive inside now this winter.  She found this at Trader Joe's, a store I have yet to explore.

When I can't smell it, I just run my fingers through the branches and the beautiful scent is released again!

Have a great weekend!

    What a precious and perfectly lovely gift.
    Rosemary is for Remembrance and I know you will always remember your daughter's special gift.
    One thing I remember from having a plant inside over winter is plenty of light, keep it cool and do not over water.
    Happy Happy New Year to you and yours dear Jill

    Oh - that is GORGEOUS!!! So is your daughter! :)

    I have rosemary instead of bushes (less "pruning" etc.)and I love it when my cat walks through them before coming in my house! LOLOL
