In The Garden
It felt good to be out in the garden, just working, not thinking, just enjoying the moment. A prayer in my heart for my family. The wind blowing. The clouds rushing by. Dirty fingernails from digging a few potatoes by hand. They will be nice for supper tonight served with fresh corn on the cob and steamed green beans. Melanie is resting on the sofa, Mei-Ling playing with her toys in the playpen. Flowers on the table and ice cold water beside me. I feel so incredibly blessed. Living a simple lifestyle, strength to deal with the more difficult things in life. Love all around me. A basket full of garden goodness, picked 10 minutes ago. Red and white potatoes, green beans, tomatoes, banana pepper and corn

You can make a tea out of the leaves after they are dried. You could use them fresh too. About 1 teaspoon dried leaves to a cup of boiling water. Feverfew should not be used if you are on blood thinners.
I am so happy that Melanie is out of the hospital and can stay with you during the day. Please tell her that I think of her everyday and am praying for a very healthy year for her and Mei-Ling.

Praying for your family, and so glad you are there to support.
I love your pictures.
