Tuesday: Plant Parenthood

[mylandmyrules]

Nell was happy to be in her own store where the plants got along much better. Her cats were enjoying the opportunity to sleep in the sunny windows while she worked and she had some quiet music playing in the background.

She was startled to receive a text from Sister Erasmus shortly after lunchtime saying that her Mama and Mawmaw wanted to set up a time to see her 'whenever she could make her way back from that heathen city of hers'. If she seemed distracted after that it was because she still didn't know how she felt about everything or how she wanted to handle it.

"But are...I'm curious if there are things they agree on. Tea connoisseurs."

"That I couldn't tell you," Nell said. "I learned about herbs and teas back home, but I've never had much truck with fancy people like that, I'm sorry."

"I'm interested in anything you can tell me, though," Jon said.

Nell obligingly filled him in on what she knew about herbal teas and varietals and the rest. Hopefully he was taking notes or recording her. "And you're always welcome to have a class come here and I can let them try some of what I have, or show them how I put my blends together."

"Could-" Jon interrupted himself. "Thank you! If you really wouldn't mind." He tried to make sense of her information, filing most of it away for later. He didn't need a recording, but it was a lot all at once.

"Absolutely," Nell said. "Just let me know when."
