Thank you for joining us on Natural Living Monday!  I am excited to see the great things you have been doing to live a more natural, whole, holistic life.

Have you ever smelled fresh lemon balm?  Nibbled a fresh leaf or tasted lemon balm tea?  It is tastes absolutely delicious and smells divine.  To me it is the smell of happy.  Our preschool has a lovely, lush patch of lemon balm growing right in the backyard.  We made good use of it last week on lemon balm day.  

The new school year at preschool has found us busily learning about plants before they go to sleep for the winter.  We have paid special attention to plants in the mint family as there are some many of them that the children are familiar with and we use a lot of them during the school year.  We have explored what a plant is and what makes a plant green?  We have also asked what makes certain plants smell so nice?  And how can we tell a if a plant is in the mint family?
