In 2 weeks it’ll be time to pick up those organic herb plants, organic heirloom vegetables, and locally grown perennials to plan that summer garden.

The herb kitchen garden enhances your home, your life and good times together planning, growing and using herbs in your daily life. Make that garden a “family room outside” to enhance fun times together.

It’s fun to make use of every Fest! I believe in having fun in a world in which work takes so much time of your day. I am German through and through that way:-))

When one of my father’s employees wanted a day of because of a wine fest, he used to say, “If you can party all night, you can also work all day.” They would still get the day off, if it was possible.
I like to turn this around and claim, “If you can work all day, you can also party…. …as long as you can.”

Partying, dancing and singing, also drinking is fun when the towns and villages get together for their fest.

And then there are:
All women breakfasts
Carneval
Men meetings (in a pub)
country women (or / men) lunches…
Advent fun in front of (a little) town hall
Christmas markets on weekends…

And still, people work in Germany too. :) )
Unless they are unemployed, which is NO fun in Germany!!!

Thanks for the information, which was new to me. I have never been to the original Oktoberfest in Munich. In Worms, we have the Backfischfest. Nine tough days when you’re young and you don’t want to miss a day!!! I used to be one of them! Long ago!!!

Check it out here.

Seize the day….it is sunny here in Maine…no warm, but not as freezing as it has been!
It’s a great day!
Hilu

Regarding Tea Tree Oil (how interesting how it got it’s name), I found this recipe in the latest Herb Quarterly. I am always looking for frugal ideas…especially herbal. So here this is for you to share. :-)

Tea Tree Counter Scrub

1 box baking soda
10-20 drops of tea tree oil.

Mix together and store in an air tight container.

Disinfects your counters better than any chemicals…and is is supposed to deter bugs too.

Thanks again, Sandy

So I put some lavender leaves, peppermint and some thyme in a muslin bag on the dash and it smelled wonderful all summer and into fall. So I did the same thing with my car. Great tip. Have a wonderful day and hope HerbFest 2010 went well.
Linda
