One of the things I love about living in our very small townhome association is our neighbors. There are 8 homes wrapping the corner of a historic Saint Paul neighborhood block. This year many of us grew herbs outside and it was fun to share or trade bits of this and that. Nothing makes me feel more like part of a community than having someone knock on my door for an egg, some bourbon or a tablespoon of curry (to name some of our recent transactions).When one of us needs a ride to the airport or a dog walked or a cat fed, we ask each other first. In a city where we have no family, Joel and I have learned how blessed we are to have kind-hearted neighbors keeping an eye out for us. Especially on days like today when I receive my annual bouquet of rosemary. Thanks Ken and Kevin!
My kitchen smells so lovely! So what will I do with it? Roasted potatoes with rosemary, rosemary ice cream, rosemary roasted squash soup, stuff it in my Thanksgiving turkey...rub it on my hands and inhale!
What would you do with a bouquet of rosemary?

I have a Rosemary bush outside my kitchen window...I love it when my kids come running inside smelling of it after running by the bush. I also love taking a big bunch, tying it with kitchen twine and attaching it to the shower head; makes for a great smelling shower.
Hey Rachael,
Thanks for the shout out. I’m glad to know there is someone near by who loves Rosemary as much as I do! Especially someone who puts it to such good use as you do.

We love having you two as our neighbors! What a blessing. I guess someone upstairs was listening when we asked for a cook (and a gardener) nearby us! (something yummy in the air on Tuesday night...with a hint of rosemary, mmmmmm...)
Love from your neighbors, alison and richard
