Sweet Annie

Last fall we went up to Unity, Maine to attend the Common Ground Country Fair. There's nothing wrong with a weekend full of alpacas, roosters, sheep, and loads of locally grown food. But I'll tell ya, the highlight of Common Grounds was the smell. Everyone was walking around with crowns made of Sweet Annie, one of the most heavenly things that's ever filled our noses. It might remind most of autumn and rumor has it that some people consider it a weed in their gardens because it spreads so easily, but if you're like us and your garden consists of some plastic containers on your fire escape, then buy a bucket now and plant some Sweet Annie seeds next to your cilantro. In a few weeks, you'll be in the Maine woods no matter what town you live in.Youtube: Rolling Stones - Waiting On A Friend
