Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
These herbs grow well in Oklahoma, along with lots of other herbs that Simon and Garfunkel couldn't work into their lyrics. Herbs are plants that are used for medicinal purposes and to add flavor to food. Fresh herbs are always better when adding flavor to food, but your own dried herbs are also wonderful to have on hand for enhancing your home cooking. Herbs are fantastic for making herb butters, herb vinegars, bundles for flavoring your grilled masterpieces, rubs, marinades, sauces, herbal teas, and potpourri. Who knew you could use herbs in so many different ways?

Cheers and jeers
Cheers to Paige Miller on the publication of the second edition of her book “Artmore: The Public Art of Ardmore, Oklahoma.” The book documents all of the murals, sculptures, fire hydrants and other works of art that make Ardmore a more colorful place to live. In addition to all of the artwork included in the first printing, this edition has 35 new pages of art created within the last few years. All proceeds from book sales will go to Create Ardmore to help fund future public art projects. So a big thank you goes out to Paige for spending hundreds of hours of her free time to document and preserve our city’s art.
