In my tiny kitchen on the wooden shelf above my sink, you’ll find glass jars full of dried leaves, flowers, and berries. I love they way they look and the Good Work they represent. It takes time and intention to fill those jars. I work at it from the beginning of spring, when the primrose and violets are blooming to the end of fall, when I get my last batch of peppermint from the garden and wild thyme from the field. every year when I’m harvesting the 4th batch of peppermint in the boiling sun, my back hurts and I wonder if we really need this much tea.
