You know somethings we have planned just don't come about. I did not pick this picture but this and 4 others came up so there must be a reason, I'm going with it. I love this lady with her arms loaded with grocery bags and the look on her face content, quiet happiness, just happy the things are. Wish we all could be like her. My shelf is different now but you know what I like this a lot. I just might change it back.
So much is happening at this time of the year. Mainly School is out. I am not real crazy about the hot weather. I try to get everything done in the morning, including exercise. You know I have been having a hard time doing exercises. I really don't know why but was telling my daughter about that and she said, " I've always thought that was great that you exercised". Well, that is all I needed to get back into it. Sometimes you just need a little push to get you going. I do feel better.
Wanted to talk a little about my lavender plants. This is where they were, now I have separated them as well as moved them. They were in the shade just not getting enough sun. Where I moved them I still don't know if they are getting enough sun. I love the smell of them. I have even found a recipe to make lavender oil. I took the blooms and blossoms smashed them gentle in a bowl with the back of a spoon, put them in a mason jar, filled it to cover them with Vodka, put wax paper on top of jar, then screwed on the lid. Put it on my closet shelf for 10 days, poured everything through a strainer and coffee filter, put that in a jar with just a coffee filter and rubber band holding it. I have to wait another 10 days for the Vodka to evaporate and what is left is Lavender Oil. Pretty cool uh? Will take a picture when it's done. So that is why I want my plants to do good and I need to find the prefect spot for them. Tootles
