Shorty

I brought home a little tree today. Ryan has already dubbed it Shorty. It's a Rosemary tree, with a nice strong tree odor. Does the Rosemary spice come from a tree? Cause if it does, maybe my tree is edible...

Carrie and I put these up Sunday night. She said I would think of her every time a snowflake fell down and she wasn't kidding...
(Bet you can't figure out who's on TV!)

I need a bigger desk; the kind that is big and circular where you can spread 300 books around your monitor. This is the frustration of nursing: you must own a library to do your homework. Lab reference, med-surg text book, class notes, assessment manual. I could have my massive Pathophysiology book in there but then I'd have to add my Mosby's Medical dictionary (which happens to be the heaviest book I own, and the most distracting) to decipher the medicalese so I just leave it on the floor and stick to my AS med-surg books (2 volumes) and the internet. Think of what this would be like if I had become a doctor...

By the way, I went to an auto body place today and they buffed out the scratch on my car in all of 5 minutes for no charge! I can't even tell the scratch was there.

Your little tree is cute. I spray mine with febreze fresh evergreen & snow air freshener to make it smell good. :)

to answer your question: if it's a short little tree (only about knee high, I can't tell from your picture) then YES it IS edible. :) I grew rosemary last year. steep the leaves in olive oil to flavor it, use it on roast vegetables or on bakes potatos. ummmmmm! :) it looks lovely. only lindsey would spray a christmas tree! ;)
