About Linda Schaub

This is my first blog and I enjoy writing each post immensely. I started a walking regimen in 2011 and in 2013 I decided to create a blog as a means of memorializing the people, places and things seen on my daily walks. I have always enjoyed people watching, so my blog is peppered with folks I meet or reflections of characters I have known through the years. Often something piques my interest, or evokes a pleasant memory from my memory bank, so this becomes a “slice o’ life” blog post. I respect and appreciate nature and my interactions with Mother Nature’s gifts is also a common theme. Sometimes the most-ordinary items become fodder for points to ponder over and touch upon. I retired in March 2024 after a career in the legal field. I was a legal secretary for almost 45 years, primarily working in downtown Detroit, then working from my home. I graduated from Wayne State University with a degree in Mass Communications (print journalism) in 1978, though I’ve never worked in that field. I would like to think this blog is the writer in me finally emerging!! Walking and writing have met, shaken hands and the creative juices are flowing in Walkin’, Writin’, Wit & Whimsy. I hope you think so too. - Linda Schaub

    I had thyme in my garden once years ago. It spread EVERYWHERE. I’m not sure that really bothered me, but it bothered my husband and eventually, over many years, I got it all pulled up. Now it’s right up there with mint and bamboo as a plant I will never again put into my garden. Not that I ever tried mint or bamboo…but I’ve heard…

      My neighbor’s husband liked iced tea with fresh mint in it, so she planted mint about 30 years ago, mostly along the fenceline – it migrated over to my garden that has lava rocks in it, so I have given up on trying to get rid of it by digging down into the rocks, as it is hopeless now.

    First, I have always loved that song (and S&G in general). Second, it’s kind of amazing how this one song has pulled those four herbs together into a group that is called to mind the moment any one of the four is mentioned.

      JP, yes, this is one of my favorite S&G songs too – so mellow and perfect harmony. I saw a video of Art Garfunkel singing this solo, accompanied by a guitarist, on the balcony of his NYC apartment a few years ago – he can still hit the high notes. Yes, all four herbs are synonymous and I was disappointed that this herb garden at the Dearborn Historical Society only had French Tarragon, Tansy and Onions/Chives planted near the Thyme (a bit boring).

      Barbara, I was disappointed that the Dearborn Historical Society gardens didn’t have parsley, sage and rosemary alongside the thyme. Now that would have been fun and interesting. They only had French tarragon, tansy and onions/chives. I’ve always loved that song as well – so mellow and such beautiful harmony.

    I used to grow parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme (among others). I still grow thyme as it is perennial and the bees love it. I haven’t planted the others in several years.

      Ruth, that doesn’t surprise me that you had all the song’s herbs given your gardens at the farm and because you love to cook. This Thyme plant had a lot of blooms – I should have removed the leaf in front before I took the shot. I took pictures of their herb garden, each herb had a brick IDing it … all the rest were French Tarragon, Tansy and Onions/Chives

      Yes, I thought it was fun to see too, although I was disappointed their garden didn’t include the rest of “the gang” … only French Tarragon, Tansy and Onions/Chives. 🙂 Back at you Terri … we have a heat wave next week; never a dull moment in SE Michigan!

    Nice shot, Linda! While waiting for my Walmart Pickup today, we saw wild celery and thistle in the nearby field. They were all growing wildly.

      Thanks Tom, I thought it would fun to do something whimsical and I wished they would have had the rest of the herbs in the song alongside the thyme. This was at the Dearborn Historical Society where they have a garden out back. Oh boy – thistle does grow wildly. I had thistle at my house and they are tough to get rid of. They are rhizome roots that grow horizontally and digging them out is not easy. I finally got rid of them after many years of dealing with them.

      Ann Marie, I knew you told me you liked gardening, but I didn’t know you grew thyme for cooking. Yes, this song is beautiful and it is indeed an old song, even before Simon and Garfunkel sang it.

    One of my favourite songs. Growing basil, parsley, mint and thyme. So far so good as we are at 5 months.

      It’s one of my favorite songs too Barbara – perfect harmony and so beautiful. I’ve never grown herbs before but five months sounds good; so the little munching critters haven’t discovered them yet, or are they in a raised garden out of their reach?
