tansy

[asakiyume]

All the tansy in my yard had flopped over, so I cut it way, way back and turned some of it into a door wreath. My front door gets BAKED BY THE SUN. Seriously, the healing angel and I have talked about the possibility of using it, somehow, for electricity or power generation. But anyway. This means the tansy wreath will . . . not freeze-dry, but the opposite. Flash bake?

Later in the day, the healing angel was going upstairs (the stairs are right by the door) and said, "I smell an intense smell of tomatoes."

Now we know what tansy (which has a pretty unique and powerful smell when it isn't baking) smells like when it's baking.

I was considering the French form of Tansy (Tanaisie) for a name if Junebug would have been a girl, but J vetoed it on account of it sounding like the French word for euthanasia. :P

That is a most lovely wreathe. It will be interesting to see if it dries in keepable condition.

Tanaisie is so pretty, what a shame that it sounds like the word for euthanasia!

Yeah, I'm hopeful that it will dry prettily but it all depends on what happens with the flowers, I think.
