Okay, I like it
Feb 16th, 2008 by bornfamous
I had to look at the new theme for a few days before deciding whether to keep it, and it grew on me. [See links at the bottom of the page for designer info.] It’s simple, with a few flourishes.
I’d like to say that’s me–simple, with a few flourishes–but I don’t have any flourishes. I’m just a Plain Jane, folks. Don’t get me wrong: it’s entirely by choice. Feminine flourishes are just too much work, frankly. The pantyhose went first, then the high heels, the hair dye, the skirts and dresses, and finally, the makeup. The older I get, the more important comfort becomes. Unlike Billy Crystal’s version of Fernando Lamas, I think it is better to FEEL good than to LOOK good.
But this theme does BOTH, and you can’t beat that. I’m starting to feel the blogging inspiration coming back…

I’m thinking about your herb question you posted in my blog. My first thought, of course, was Lavender. Because it is like a weed. And it will help with a lot of things.
But I’m also thinking Marigolds (Calendula) would be good for you, too. It was a hit I got.
So I’m going to mull this around in my head a few more days. But I like how you’re thinking!
Thanks, Jen! I’ve been reading The Way of Herbs by Michael Tierra as well as Back to Eden by Jethro Kloss, The Green Pharmacy and others. Fascinating!
Glad to see you’re back in action!
Am about to start up with tomatoes and basil on the balcony (now that we finally have one!) myself. Also fancy trying carrots, but we will have to see how ambitious I can be bothered to be. It’s the husband who wants the other two, but he won’t be looking after them. Experience… he recently killed off my little strawberry plant. They’re usually quite hardy…
