These days, I feel stressed in my job...
As a matter of fact, I have had a new job since last December, and haven't got used to it...
仕事の重圧に潰されそうな日々…
このトシになって新しい仕事なんて引き受けなきゃよかった…
弱音を吐く毎日…
The fragrance of this silver leaves, called "Artemisia" in my garden is in for a treat. They have great fragrance. Isn't it amazing that it gives out an odor NOT from flower BUT from leaves?
毎朝水やりで何気なく通る場所に植えたこのシルバーリーフに癒される…
だってこれすっごくイイ香りがするんだもの〜(＊´艸‘)
アルテミシア"パルファム・ドゥ・エチオピア"
去年Pちゃんに教えてもらってお迎えしたの Pちゃ〜ん、ありがと！
お花じゃなくて葉っぱがイイ香りなんだよ〜 香りってこんなに人を癒す力があるんだ...
てことで
そうだ、ハーブガーデンーに行こう！
Fragrance have a power to ease one's mind...
Then...
I should visit to a herb garden!
The garden is located on the mountainside.
山の中腹にあるハーブ・ガーデン
Felt a breeze on my skin...
そよ風が気持ちいい
They have more than 180 kinds of herbs
Walking around the path, you can enjoy a lot kinds of fragrance.
小道を進むといろんな香りが漂ってくる
When it comes to herbs, I have only four kinds of them, lavender, rosemary, mountain mint and apple mint, that's all.
I want to get more...
ウチにはラベンダー、ローズマリー、マウンテンミント、アップルミントの4種類のハーブしかないなぁ…
もっと増やしたくなっちゃった
What herb do you recommend? Please let me know:)
オススメのハーブがあったら教えてね〜
あ、Pちゃん、パルファムの取り置きお願いっっっ

These herbs on the slope of the mountain look wonderful. The colours are so beautiful. If you want more herbs in your garden I can recommend basil for the lovely scent and it tastes good with tomatoes. Oregano is also a lovely herb
ReplyDeleteOh, beautiful!..
ReplyDeleteI think lavender has the best scent for making you feel better. I have dried lavender under my pillow to help me sleep. I also like basil and thyme for cooking, and they both grow really well in pots too!
ReplyDeleteThe shots of the mountain herb garden are just beautiful. I would recommend the common herb thyme. There are many different kinds of thyme, all of them fragrant and I think the plant's delicate beauty and dainty flowers would appeal to you.
ReplyDeleteKeity, your 4th photo reminded me the painting of Impressionists, it's so nice!
ReplyDeleteOf herbs I grow Melissa and apple Mint, I put them in my tea pot.
I wished I live near mountains like you. We are on completely FLAT land here in this part of Texas. We would have to drive for 6 hours to see mountains!
ReplyDeleteI love herbs like Artemesia. :0) David/
What a beautiful herb garden, the colours are wonderful! I love all kinds of herbs, but rosemary and thyme are my favourites.
ReplyDeleteSo lovely photos Keity, those mountains in the background reminds me of the country I come from, Norway, we don't have mountains in London!
ReplyDeleteI do a lot of cooking, and I could not manage without thyme, I have two types of thyme, ordinary and lemon and I use it in a variety of dishes. I also have chives since my stomach doesn’t tolerate onions very well, but chives is a good alternative that I can use, so I have several of them and cut and freeze so I have for the winter. Rosemary and lavender are also staples in my garden like yours.

ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely place! I wish I was there... even not being stressed.
ReplyDeleteSo much wonder and beauty soothes the soul of even what you didn't know you had or felt.
I'm sorry to learn it's been a stressful time for you... with me it works to smell pine and eucalyptus... probably because I grew up in a region full of those trees and its smell immediately takes me to when all was safe and fun and happy.
And when I can't bring those scents to me, I've learned that turning off the lights at the end of the day, everyone is sleeping only I am awake, I seat on my sofa in silence and drink a cup of chamomile tea.
It won't solve problems but will strengthen you for them.
Take care, Lovely Lady!
Beautiful place and beautiful photography!
ReplyDeleteI have 10 girls from Japan coming to visit me on Tuesday for a home and garden tour.
Thank you for visiting me,
Carolyn
Oh Keity, your mountainside photos are soooo beautiful.
