You know you're an herb fanatic when....

. The ceiling in various rooms and closets have holes all over them from hanging so many herbs to dry.

. Your family officially dubs your bedroom closet the "flower graveyard".

. It no longer surprises your family when you come careening into the house with a pathetic looking leafy twig and you are jumping up and down in excitement over your find.

. Nor are they surprised when they open their own closets and find strange looking plants hanging upsidedown from the ceiling.

. It's been said that you sometimes say Latin herb names in your sleep. (*note* I have yet to do this one ;D)

. You and your family are driving on the highway and you suddenly shout "Did you see that!?" Your family turns around, looking for something spectacular. Then you continue to say that you just saw a lovely Canadian Thistle plant in the ditch.

. You drive by a very large and important building often but never actually notice the building. You're too busy admiring the beautiful Lady's Mantle plant in the front and wondering where they got it.

. Your sewing room is beginning to resemble a plant nursery more than a sewing room.

. After church is over you find yourself talking with a friend about magnesium deficiencies in the soil and the various species of pigweed around your property.

. You name your favorite pansy plant. (I admit to this one! Her name is Stella.)

. You are constantly amazed at how perfectly the Lord created everything.


I admit that I can relate to almost every single one of these. Especially the last one....
