Growing Lavender
I'm sure I can never get enough of the beauty and fragrant soothing power of Lavender. The front entrance to our home is graced with French lavender and I keep finding new spots in our current garden for more touches of English, Spanish and French lavender which fortunately, for me, it grows well here in the Arizona desert.
Lavender is a hardy perennial native to the Mediterranean and one of the most popular herbs grown. It soothes my soul, clears my mind and puts a smile on my face.
Lavender has a way of soothing the soul. Taken in deeply, it clears the mind of clutter and clarifies what is important.
Lavender is a God-connector to me. I think of its beauty and I think of God and how much He must love me to place such a gift across my pathway. What connects you to God?

COTE DE TEXAS: A Reader’s House
Joni is just about my favorite design blog. I LOVE to drink coffee and peruse and dream my way through Cote de Texas. She never lacks for ideas and pictures galore.
Here, she writes, " Many times in the emails I receive, there will be pictures of readers houses – usually fresh from moving in, or a recent remodeling. Rather than keep the pictures all to myself, I have decided to share them with you in an ongoing series called Readers Houses. Some of the houses are small and . . .
For some reason, today, I've fallen in love with white - all over again.
Have a wonderful Sunday! xoxo
