Gathering Herbs Before the Snow Flies and a Funny Picture

A wintry sky made for a sense of urgency in getting things done before the snow flies as they say back where I come from.
Baskets of herbs stand atop the woodpile, away from the pecking hens
Basil and Fennel
A Basket of sweet smelling lavender
Rose Geranium fills a basket of its own
The first few rose hips in their basket
Herbs on the table ready to be but into little bundles to dry
Mullein hanging to dry
A picture of the garden this morning.....
And the funny picture, our rooster sitting on a nest of eggs. A modern Father !
