today is my mother's birthday and summer is just around the corner. the summer solstice marks a new season and i am sure it is my mothers favorite. what a gift. here is her grandson picking a flower in honor of the occasion. calendula is one of my new favorite flowers/herbs. i love its fragrance, the seed is easy to save and it is hardy. i am growing it this year because i am hoping to use it to make salve. a farmer friend once gave me a tin of homemade calendula salve and it was the best!!!
