My little guy, Bugs, Leaves and Moon Tea

Last night as we were cleaning up and putting away after the family campfire, Mr. Conductor decided to go a-wanderin’ through my garden.
And pick some apple mint.
He held it tightly clenched in his fist and brought it into the kitchen where I was putting away dishes.
I smelled it before I saw him.
He came in saying, “Momma, I need a glass jar and lid.”
Of course I inquired as to what he planned to use it for- a boy coming in at twilight with a clenched fist often means
Bugs.
But no bugs- just warm crushed apple mint leaves and a little boy who had recently watched his aunt and Grammy make sun tea using some mint ‘borrowed’ from Momma’s garden.
And so it happened that we got out a quart jar, added the crushed leaves and two tea bags and the boy filled it with water.
He hugged it close as he carried it outside to leave out and make

Moon Tea.
