Spring Bouquet

Chris on The Farm just sent me this picture of  loveliness from her flower garden!

I'm totally jealous.....

Europe

I am leaving for Europe tomorrow ( I know....lucky me!) and I know I will come 

back with a plethora ( just love this word) of ideas for new posts for the blog. 

Unfortunately I don't have a laptop to take with me so be patient 

and when I get past the jet lag I'll be back to posting again. 

I am so thankful for this chance to travel again..... 

and I know how blessed I am to have this opportunity.

We'll talk soon!

Germany

France

Switzerland

Austria

Czech Republic    

Wildflower--Lavender Mountain Lily

This is a picture from my dear son who is stationed in Afghanistan. 

How does something so lovely grow, much less thrive, in this cracked dry earth?

The power of nature is flippin' amazing!
