“I will live atop a golden hill well into the fall.”

Beautiful and tranquil.

I just came across a recipe for quince cake with goldenrod sprinkles. What wonderful timing.

I collect all those herbs and love to sleep with a branch of mugwort under my pillow. What a divine scent. I made 80 herb salts for a Slow Foods event a few years ago and the lovage blend was the favorite. The second favorite was blackberry thyme. The deep color of that salt looked beautiful on foods like salmon or sweet potatoes. Please keep all the great ideas and explorations coming. So much fun!

Heide, this is amazing!!! I just reminded myself yesterday to pick a fresh bundle of Mugwort to hang over my bed. And every time I walk by The Little Barn, I feel as though the Mugwort is there to make Magic with me.

The blackberry thyme salt! Just to look at it... :)

Thanks for sharing, Heide. XO
