They are quite useful though. lol I understand that mints will keep ants away. Then there is always wonderful hot tea made with all the leaves just placed compacted in the bottom of the cup and poured on with boiling water. You have a winner here, Eve, in subject matter and presentation. It does resemble a spear with its one rigid stem in the photo. The color is rich and bright and the whole is elegantly posted. Do a few more herbs like this and I'll have a wonderful set for my kitchen wall!

I love this post for several reasons.
1. Colors and presentation are beautiful
2. I like spearmint
3. Reminds me of Spearmint Gum
4. Spearmint Gum is made by Wrigley
5. Wrigley Field is where the Chicago Cubs baseball team plays.
6. I am a avid St. Louis Cardinal Fan
7. The Cubs won the Central Division in the National League
8. They lost three in a row to the Los Angeles Dodgers.
9. Cubs will not win the World Series again
10 That will make 100 years and counting

As you can see this post really warmed my heart Lyn. Thanks

Good clarity on the mint. Nice depth, and wonderfully framed.
Can't find anything to complain about as usual. Great work!

Great presentation and beautiful delicate colours. I can smell the Roast Shoulder of Lamb from here, all we need now is the mint sauce...

Reading Tick's comment made me smile Lyn. I don't have the time and I'm not that inventive like Tick, else I had make 10 other reasons to say why I love this post too. I'll give you only one reason: because it's just a excellent capture!

Noone beats Tick here !! LOL
But I also love it although I hate the taste of spearmint and play no games like golf or what it is that Tick is an avid fan of ... Baseball ! LOL
Simple, elegant and very stylish, dearest Eve.
