A garden mocktail. As an herbalist I know that plant medicine is powerful. I keep it healthy and respect my system. A little lemon balm, green tea, spearmint with lemon and lime. #mocktail #herbalism #gardentime #refreshment #relax

Back at the old house, the large persimmon tree in the neighbor’s garden would produce fruit at a level far from reach for any human. By December the ripening persimmons drew the attention of crows or ravens. Painting in progress by D.Lopez #art #painting #crows #ravens #autumn #persimmons #seasons
