tis the Season ~ this & that

The 2009 is almost at a close. The garden is put to rest, til the Spring season, and I am already thinking of the new plantings I plan to plant .. for a start Elderberry .. which every garden should have :: visit my friend Tina's Blog to read about the benefits & uses of elderberries .. btw she makes a great elderberry candy ! Visit: The Essential Herbal Blog

Maybe Im 'old school' .. however, I am NOT comfortable with this 'nano technology' ..
my question is .. will they include the use of this on the labels ?? As a consumer, I would want to know about this. Of course .. it is all about money ..
Be aware, and read this article:
Nanoencapsulation: difference between ‘making money and breaking even’.

He who thanks but with the lips
Thanks but in part;
The full, the true Thanksgiving
Comes from the heart.

For each new morning with its light,
For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food, for love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends.

We can only be said to be alive

hearts are conscious of our treasures.
~ Thornton Wilder

Happy 2009.! Its a New Year.!

When I used to think of 2000 anything .. it was so 'futuristic' .. a SciFi sort of feeling. Now here we are 2009 ... hoping the economy will turn around, the financial situation has been the worst ever in the history of this country, I pray the wars will end, our soldiers home safe.

SunRose is going into our 11th year .. it feels like just yesterday that I was starting out. Only a few oils .. learning .. and playing and learning some more. The evolution over the years was slow and steady, adding more materials as time went on. Formulating products when the need arose for myself, family, friends, clients.

It has been a wonderful and exciting journey. Many thanks to all that have be supportive of my work. And a special thanks to Sheila Concepcion & Johanna Tramo the SunRose Staff .. they make all things possible.

Spring is a watercolor,
Summer an oil painting,
and Autumn a mosaic of them all.'

Think in the morning,
Act in the noon,
Eat in the evening,
Sleep in the night.
In seed time learn, in harvest teach,
