Better appreciation through plants

I have just come back up from the parent-run teacher appreciation lunch. Good food, free books, and plants! (They usually do some sort of give-away thing: this year, it was lots of pots of little plants.) I now have rosemary sitting on my desk. Tonight, it will come home and go on my back stoop by the tomatoes. It has a little tag on it with care instructions, even. (I do, in fact, know how to take care of rosemary, but I approve of information sharing.)

Of course, this is making me feel I should just break down and buy some basil and dill to go with it. (those three being the fresh herbs I'm most likely to use widely.)

In a bit, I am going to go fight with the turned in laptops, and with about 8 million other things I need to do. We have scheduled two of the four interviews we want to do next week, and I've been playing phone tag with one of the others.

Tonight, I get to go home, make food for lunch tomorrow (the first of the "They are not feeding us!" days) and do many other things, including maybe clean the house.
