Just back from a friend's garden with more stachys (lamb's ears), crane's bill (scented geranium), peppermint, oregano and a sedum I don't have. (I'm a succulent freak -- I'd love to have a patch of each and I think I read somewhere that there's about 400 varieties in the US.)

It's later in the afternoon than I expected and it's cooled off quite a bit -- going to rain. I got the plants out of the car and in a spot where they'll get wet real soon now.

Finally got a start on the fish chowder for supper. Wanted to make it this morning so the flavors could marry all day. Ah well. This will work. I've even got Guinness to go with it. Guinness is amazing with any seafood.
