WEDNESDAY WISHES...................






Well...we are home at last.  Had such a wonderful time catching up with old friends...but Dorothy said it best "there is no place like home."

It has turned quite warm here for the last few days....so my gardens have exploded.  More Iris than I know what to do with and ROSES pouring out my ears.  LOL LOL

Now mind you...I'm not complaining...I appreciate each and everything that I am given in this life.

However.....If I was really honest.....I wish I lived here......



Could you just imagine waking up to all this beauty....each and every day....and the aroma....oh it must be heavenly.


I wouldn't even mind the bees.......

So please join me in my magic field of lavender....and sit with me a while.


I would love to have a nice chat....and catch up.....then we would go pick lavender till our  baskets were full.

Sending springtime wishes to each and everyone of you.

Hugs,

Jo

  5. If I could wake up and smell lavender every day I'd be a happy camper! My flowers are slowly peeking up, and I can't wait to see them bloom.

  6. Hi Jo, your garden full of irises and roses sounds wonderful - and that field of lavender is just gorgeous! Do you have any lavender in your garden? We have a few hardy plants but I'd love a row just like in your photo. Glad you're all home safe and sound - and you are right, there is no place like home and aren't we both blessed to have homes we love to come home to! Ciao, bella!

  7. Welcome home! Sounds like you had a fabulous time. I have a container of dried lavendar from Pottery Barn and have just started making small sachets. :) Have a great rest of the week. Tammy

  8. Glad you're home safe and had fun. I'd love to see flowers of any kind out my back door. Reality is, I'll be seeing more of that cold white stuff..

    Before I moved here, I lived close to lavender fields and loved to take a ride, just to smell all the purple beauty and take deep breaths.

    Enjoy your beauty. And keep showing it to us:)

  9. Welcome home.

    Lovely photos.

    But guess what? I am one who does not like the scent of Lavender. Honest! :-) Takes all kinds to make a world, hu?

    Gentle hugs...

  11. Dear Jo, welcome Home, I've got my Lavender Basket ready... lets go! *winks* Thanks for stopping by, yes, it is good to connect with Kindred Spirits and we do have much in common, so I know you 'get it'. Your Banner Quote really was perfect this day and if you don't mind I'm adding it to that Post. "TRUE JOY IS UNTOUCHED BY CIRCUMSTANCE." Unknown AMEN!!!

    I've so enjoyed our chat in the Garden today... and gathering Lavender on the canvas of our imaginations. I've actually started growing some from seed this Season and it's looking Hopeful, so we'll see?

    Blessings... Dawn... The Bohemian

  15. Your flowers are so gorgeous and I love all the redecorating you've done on your blog over the months. I would love to sit among the lavender with you and drink jasmine tea in delicate china cups while we visit.

TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY......I'M GOING TO HAVE A WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY MONTH!!!

I turn 67 today.....and actually I feel better as the years accumulate.  Since I've gotten older I actually have decided that I will celebrate each day during the month of October...just being grateful for being healthy and alive.   I hope each one of you who follow this little blog of mine celebrate each day along with me.... Here are some of the things I have planned for my birthday month: 1.  Listing our current home the end of the first week in November.  We are pretty excited to be moving into a little smaller spot as it means less work and maintenance.  We just want to be able to live more and work less.  Although we still have not found our new spot.....we know it is out there.   2.  Taking a 15 day cruise on the Rhine from Amsterdam to Budapest.  We will visit 5 countries along the way.  One of the stops will be in the place I was born....Nuremberg, Germany.  My  family  left Germany right after the war...when I was quite young.  Memories are almos

PUTTING ON MY GYPSY SHOES......................

Bo Bunny Paper Collection Well.......the coach is packed...the laundry done in the condo....and we will be on our way tomorrow. I often do feel like a gypsy moving from one spot to another....and each year my gratitude grows as I am able to continue this lifestyle. I truly would love to "do up" my coach in Gypsy Style...but alas....not too practical as things probably would be flying all over as we traveled down the road.  (O: But.....a girl can dream.....can't she? ~~~ My suitcase is packed with memories To be opened further down the road When my caravan must be halted The bag waits to be opened Stories to be told and shared Like the gypsy's of so long ago But for now....the wheels keep turning And my case grows larger still Waiting for the day..I must be stopped   And my heart, to the brim, will be filled Hugs from me to you, Jo Gypsy photos:  Electric Gipsyland on Flickr

HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND A MERRY CHRISTMAS

This is a picture of our little tree this year.  Each year our trees seem to be smaller, a function of our getting older and just wanting to deal with less stuff.  I'm sure a few of you feel them same.  Although it does seem to be a little weird that we want to deal with fewer Christmas decorations and give each other MORE STUFF in the way of presents under the tree.   Ahhh...being human is such a quandary sometimes!                                          MERRY CHRISTMAS                                                          Jo
