The summer we married, my husband was in graduate school, and I was employed as a teacher. We took a portion of our savings that summer and purchased a sailboat. We christened our Catalina 22, “Hyacinths For The Soul” after Saadi’s poem. Our "Hyacinths" provided years of pleasure.

    Hi Sara!

    What a lovely post on this Mothers Day! I know your Mom is elderly & ailing but I hope you got to speak to her today, even if it is long distance.

    Your tray with all the lavender items looks wonderful. We don't seem to "get" a lot of lavender around here. I guess its the wrong climate. Rarely ever see it for sale anywhere & I've never cooked with it.
    Wish we could sit & share a cuppa that tea & split a scone together.

    Hugs,
    Rett

    I can't think of a more soothing, and fragrant thing than lavendar. It is so lovely growing and so highly scented. A lavendare oil bath is such a treat. Fortunately, I can grow it here quite well. Your tea looks like a lovely way to spend Mother's Day. Joni

    You and I have the same desk calendar...I really love it and am saving all the pages to use in some banners later on. Sorry it took me so long to reply to your M.E. post. And I really do feel badly for Vicki. I am out of stuff, but as soon as I come across more at Michaels I will post again. I have to really like it to buy it,
