24 New Hours

I read this first thing each morning. It is my mantra, my prayer and my intention each and every day! Happy Thanksgiving!

Animal Council

I called this meeting to  let you all know that..........I am the Boss!

When An Artist and Engineer Collide

My father was a typesetter by trade and created some of my favorite pictures. This pathetic gold frame just didn't cut it!

Supplies cut and ready for assembly. We chose birch wood. I love the grain.

I could have left the natural color but the original idea was a dark stain.

This is more like it!

My husband is a genius........enough said!

Summer Moth

You never know what colorful being you might find hanging out by the door! This moth is exquisite.

Getting My Farm On



One of the highlights of summer was my trip to The Woodinville Lavender Farm. I answered an ad on Facebook for volunteers for harvest. What a great learning experience. www.woodinvillelavender.com



This farm is located amongst the many boutique wineries in Woodinville, WA. Beautiful colors!

The owners live on the farm and opened it to the public last summer. Amazing lavender products are offered along with classes for making sachets, essential oils, and several other yummy items!

I had to get over my fear of bees very quickly! Another bonus to picking lavender is it gets infused into your clothes, shoes, even your hair.

I confess, my lavender does not look this nice. I have to get to work!

I failed to mention how easy this morning really was. The owner, Tom, cuts the lavender and then hands it to us to bundle. We gather the bundles, put them in a wheelbarrow then hang them to dry. No bending required. Thanks for saving our backs Tom.

Nothing completes a farm like a farm dog. This sweety was taking a snooze after we ate our lavender infused ice cream, bars. No one spilled any, so he gave up and went to sleep. Sorry my friend. Maybe another time!
