The Rainy Days of Summer

Lady's Mantle Alchemilla species
I just came back from Santa Cruz, CA and when we were back from the Logan airport in Boston, it was raining a lot! 
Lucky day yesterday  Sunday to check the healing garden project in Ascutney Hospital in Windsor, VT, cloudy and warm. 

In my Relaxing Spot, the basil herb is gone, I have to replace for a new one. The Lobelia inflata is looking good and the St John’s wart, too!

The Lady's mantle was showing off its beauty holding the rain drops. This herb  is known as a very efficient cure for women. Out of all the medicinal herbs, lady's mantle is the number one choice of specialists in phytotherapy when prescribing medication in cases of menstruation.

St. John's wart seedling.
Looking around the garden I found three small St John’s wart seedlings, it seems that the wind and birds helped spreading this gift in our garden.
