do not go gentle into that good night

I asked a friend to go pick some mint while I went to the greenhouse to get lemon balm, for our herbal tea, and soon after she left she called from the garden "How do I tell the mint and stinging nettle apart in the dark...?" then immediately added "You're about to say the mint smells minty while the stinging nettle stings. Don't!!" and it made me smile and I wished I could take a screenshot of these words, just to keep a little written trace of this uneventful evening. Sure I can write it down (as I am doing), but then I felt wistful about all the other trivial exchanges I don't get to archive. I know with texts and such a lot of them are in written form nowadays and can be saved, but I've always wanted to save everything.

I literally had this conversation with @mistresskabooms less than an hour ago, when I told her to add powdered ginger and pumpkin pie spice mix to the apple cobbler we were making "in quantities beyond the wildest dreams of your shetl-and-farmhand ancestors."
