Lavendar and Lace



Another beautiful day in the mountains...



Today was one of those days where everything seemed to work out just right...
...a day where loose ends were tied up neatly...





Struggles seem to resolve themselves...
...worries were eased...





With the windows wide open and a cool breeze off the lake...
...I just know I will sleep well...





Feeling grateful and so blessed...

I hope things are working out for you in your world too...
...and that the rest of your week brings joy and peace.

Dear Laura,
Lavender is such a beautiful colour. My birthstone is amethyst and it is a colour that I am drawn to. Such beautiful images too,
It sounds as if you are having the most tranquil and restful time at The Lakehouse.
....just right for your mum, too.
Have a beautiful time, Laura. XXXX

As I shared with you before, Laura, I'm working my way backwards through your archives - reading and enjoying EVERY single post. I had to smile when I got to this one. The latest post on my blog involved lavender and wildflowers like some of those here. We do seem to share a love of many of the same things.

Hugs,
