It’s been getting HOT here in Arizona (Summer is coming) and all my poor flowers in the front yard are struggling.
I get it.
I would wilt if I sat in the sun all day too.
So I went and bought some mint to replace a few of the sadder-looking plants (meaning… they’re dead and crispy and probably a fire hazard) before the neighbors start to complain.
Well… I was ripping out roots and shoving in new things when one of those said neighbors walks by.
“How lovely,” she says. (which I think is code for ‘Thank GOD you finally fixed those and are no longer a disgrace to the neighborhood’) .. “Are you planting an herb garden?” She nods at my mint.
“Um, why yes. Yes, I am.” (That’s me, eloquent as always.) “Who doesn’t love herbs?”
“It’s the mark of a true foodie,” she tells me with a co-conspiratorial smile before she walks away.

Yeah, I’m not a foodie.
… This mint is for mojitos.
And ‘spicy margaritas’
(… but I think I’m already labeled the ‘crazy one’ in the neighborhood so decided to just roll with the ‘foodie’ thing)
