CALL for ENTRIES: San Angelo Museum

ROSEMARY,
my baby

Winter is comin’…time to start planting herbs. I know that thought process is non-sensical to some of you. You see, I am too lazy to grow them myself when they are plentiful at the market in Spring, but in the Winter, I’m too cheap to buy them unless I grow them myself. I just can’t have marinara without basil. Plus, growing herbs indoors give me an excuse to buy a plethora of beautiful new pots. Maybe I should shop the opening of this next Call. Take a look…
