My organic rosemary is still growing heartily in our giardino and the country house was decorated today with bouquets of fresh rosemary and lavender from our bushes ..an elegant but simple way to fragrance and decorate.. Tonight’s cocktails will be non-alcoholic.. it is so flavorful you won’t even notice…here’s one that is exceptionally healthy..
