Drying times.....



These are "drying times" here at 4 arrows.  My garden is begging for a drink of water and it's going to 
get it tonight.  I just returned from the local hardware store with a sprinkler.  I am sitting here wonder why we don't own one!!!  Well, we do now and with the extended forecast, my garden is going
to thank me.


I've been picking this and drying it like CRAZY.  It is totally out of control and I LOVE it.  I go out in the cool of the morning and gather up all the ones that open and 
leave them to air dry on a big piece of screen.  I have almost a quart jar full!  
I love spreading it out on the screen and seeing the pretty colors.  After growing Calendula this year for an herb, I think I'll always keep it around.  It's fast growing and really easy to keep.....
not to mention beautiful!
