Tanka Challenge - Day Three

Took down lemonbalm
needing space to hang more herbs.
Down to the garden
Ah, fingers so red and cold!
Lemonbalm welcomes me home.

Only a short trip outdoors for me today, to harvest some horehound. I haven't harvested as much this year as I would have liked, but more than I have in recent years. Also I have a chance to harvest some things over the winter, as I brought in quite a few of the more tender plants.

L has been mowing lawn and leaves today. He's using a truck to hold what he collects, as the mower's bag fills up so quickly.
