Hello, June.

The things the month of June and I love in common;
Baskets for strawberry picking
Flowers by the side of the road
Sleeping with the windows open
Days without clocks or telephones
Taking long walks for no reason
Monitoring the growth of sunflowers
Reading Colette

What do you love about June?

A Little Spring in Winter

For among these winters there is one so endlessly winter that only by wintering through it all will your heart survive.
Rilke

Every year when the first frost hits, I usually dump out my herb pots and store them in the shed. This year, the lavender was still going strong, so I decided to see if they could last the winter. I've been waking up to lavender blooms every morning, which makes the weather predictions that much more bearable.
