Not Grumpy - 365+1

Golden Sun - Enchanted Land
Today's prompt was 'Grumpy' but I wasn't feeling grumpy so decided to have a free choice day.  I was making minestrone soup and made a bouquet garni of fresh rosemary, marjoram and thyme tied up with a couple of chive stems.  The thyme has started to flower and looked so pretty that I thought I'd feature this little bouquet. 

A Tussie Mussie is A nosegay, tussie-mussie, or posy/posey/posie is a small flower bouquet, typically given as a gift. They have existed in some form since at least medieval times, when they were carried or worn around the head or bodice.[1]  Wikipedia
