Help, please?

Hi Blog Friends,

I am in need of some help.
I have a bunch of sweet annie growing and I'm not sure when to cut and dry it.
I have read some articles off the web about sweet annie but not sure when to havest.
Below are some pictures of what mine looks like right now and think it may be ready, but not sure.
So, what do you think? I'd appreciate some help if you know when to harvest.
I have been looking for glycerine to use in drying and have had no luck. Michael's, Jo anne's, and Ben Franklin don't carry it around here, so I guess I'll be drying it the old fashion way and hope for the best. 



Thanks for stopping by.
Blessings, Jean

My cup runneth over

Good morning Blog Friends,

I am so grateful to have such sweet friends here in blog land. I was so touched to receive so many concerns and comments about the earthquake. Thank you all! My cup runneth over.

It's looking like Hurricane Irene is forecasted to come inland on the East Coast this weekend and I hope and pray that it dies down to a tropical storm and not the category 4 they predict.  Please heed all the precautions being given on this storm. Better to be safe than sorry ;o)

I'm still working to get my stock pile built back up of fall crafts and wanted to let you all know I will be announcing my giveaway on September 1st.
So be sure to stop back and sign up when you see the announcement!

Have a great day my friends!
Blessings, Jean

Did you feel that!!

We just had an Earthquack here in Virginia.

It was said to be a  5.8 ~ shook the house something terrible but all is well. 
Pictures fallen, dishes rattled, floor rumbled~ very scary for about 5 - 10 seconds.

I have not experienced an earthquack since I was 9 yrs old living in Maryland.

Still a bit scared from this, but am okay.
