    Last week, the big kids stayed with Grandma and Grandpa for a few days while the rest of us stayed home.  It was a nice, short break for me and I was able to use the time to get my homeschooling classroom somewhat ready and I sorted through the kids’ clothes.

    On Wednesday, I went to pick up the kids, but we stayed through Thursday and spent the day at a local state park.  We all had a great time, but it was very hot out.

    This village has a working grist mill.
    We watched it mill corn,
    and I bought ten pounds worth for only $6.

    I came home with a bunch of goodies: the ten pounds of corn meal, four framed victorian-ish pieces of artwork, old fashioned candy, a large heirloom tomato plant, and a purple basil plant.

    Have you ever use or grown purple basil?
    If you have, do you use it differently than regular basil?
