why i love lavender...


it came into my life when i was desperate for comfort and healing. this sweet and dainty flower became a sort of medicine...a cure for broken hearts. something to help us all sleep at night...giving our sorrow a bit of time off.

it's unmistakable scent became a part of my life. like scents do. it brings tears to my eyes, but also reminds that such pain could only come from a mother's love....and how can that be a bad thing? so here i am in june...almost 8 years later, and the presence of lavender brings back who she was to us and what we're all missing each day that goes by without her. marilyn june...mom and nanny...


**update for you blog hoppers...nice to meet you!
this is my first time for friday flowers...
it's an old post but one of my favorites.
have a great weekend.

just a bee


had a chance to get up close and personal with miss bumble bee...i saved her life and i think she was grateful. i love bees. so fuzzy and buzzy. it was a nice weekend. busy enough but still had time to stop and relax. down to the last week of school...time to make plans and lists and put away anything that reminds me of winter.............'cause summer is just around the corner.
