Donna!
How beautiful was your morning today!
Your lavender is such a pretty rich color! I can't wait to see how you display it at The French market. Where did you find your perfect lavender harvest basket? It's wonderful!
So blessed to know you!

Donna, I used to make sachet wands that I laid on all my linens. I haven't had a good harvest since I moved to Central Texas. I need to make some more, but even after 6 yrs. the fragrance is still evident. Such a nice aroma on my pillow cases.
PS I am such a fan of your blog.

Love your lavender and picking basket! Mine are in full bloom, but I am hesitant to cut them. I would like a second flush of blooms, though. Maybe another week, and I'll selectively cut some of the flowers to enjoy inside.
Cheers,
Loi

I just planted two little lavender plants yesterday! I can only grow munstead at this altitude and my fingers are crossed that the bunnies will leave it alone, because I love fresh lavender soooo much. :)
Love seeing all your beautiful garden photos, Donna! Enjoy being out in your little Tinker House.

Oh I loved seeing the photo all of your darling children Donna. I am so happy to hear about Justin's E-5 ranking. Congratulations to Justin!!!
Enjoy your time with family during this very special holiday.
Patriotism is a special quality and I hope we are teaching the new generation coming up how important it is!!!

My husband, Guy, says that's excellent getting to E-5 in such a short time. He was an E-5 when he left the service. Congrats and have a great Memorial weekend!

Wonderful post and I thank him for serving. Without these noble and courageous individuals we would not enjoy the freedoms and liberties that (sometimes go unnoticed) on the daily basis.
Enjoy your weekend.

2012-05-26T10:04:26.423-04:00

Hugs & happiness to you and yours on this very special weekend, Donna. You have so much to be proud of!

I can only dream of getting my three "kids" and their families together in one place at the same time. My eldest daughter is in Boulder, but living a crazy-busy life. My son & DIL live in Japan. My youngest, SIL, and two baby girl granddaughters are in LA. Perhaps someday?

We don't have any big plans for the weekend. I did purchase some delphinium and lavender yesterday and hope to get them planted. :)

Have a wonderful weekend!!!
Hugs,
Zuzu

Donna- I am just like you and sometimes feel foolish when I am in a crowd of people and start bawling when I hear the National Anthem. The pledge of allegiance always puts a lump in my throat, too. Congratulations and God bless your son- xo Diana

God bless your Son and all the military personnel who put their lives on the line each and every day. Saying Thank You for their bravery and sacrifice doesn't seem to be enough.

Tell your son thanks for his duty. As a military brat, a veteran, and a wife to an Airmen in Afghanistan - again. I know the cost being in the military has on one self and their family. Thanks to all those families.

As I am a proud parent of a newly enlisted Sailor I am excited for your joy. congratulations! Our daughter just completed her A School two weeks ago and has been at her duty station for a week, Portsmouth, Virginia. Fourth generation in the family,Third generation girl in the military. But FIRST Navy! Go Navy!

We have a few small home improvement projects to finish, going on a short day trip to Wiscasett and then eat at the Kraut House German restaurant. Then hope to have a evening around the fire pit with s'mores. If the weather is good we might get a morning kayak trek in. We will see.

Thank you to all who serve this great country and remember those who have given the ultimate sacrifice.
