Mint, I think, must be my favourite herb. I use it so frequently - with lamb, in my water, and even in my tea. Plus I love having it in the garden that when I walk past and pick a leaf I can crush it in my fingers and just enjoy the smell...
Lovely image, and it is nice picturing you in my mind, picking a leaf, rubbing it and enjoying the smell. I do the same. Here it grows wild at this time of the year, and I often grab a leaf, just to enjoy the smell.
I love it too! We used to grow it by our outdoor faucet. You could always tell when the kids were playing back there, because it always smelled like mint.
