🌳 I keep reminding myself of this phrase. Anyone else? 😬🌸

What a precious gift. 🎁 🌎 🌳 🕊️Happy Earth Day friends.

Plant love. Grow peace.

One of my favorite poems by American Farmer/Poet/Essayist- Wendell Berry

The Peace of Wild Things

“When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.”

🌳Hi friends! It’s a bit early for me to be thinking about Easter and yet here I am today filling Spring and Easter linen sachets with heaping spoonfuls of lavender buds. The studio is very fragrant at the moment! 💕🌿🌸

I’ve planted numerous lavender plants over the years in the potager (Hidcote and Munstead). I love the idea of using it as low hedging but they can be rather finicky in our Zone 5 climate- especially here on the hill where wind chills make Zone 4 plants a better call. Brrrr. 💨❄️ Not exactly its ideal Mediterranean climate. Do you grow lavender in your garden? Do tell!

Darling Randy is getting some attention in the studio lately. 🐱🌳🐱My previous sketches just weren’t going where I wanted to go. This makes me smile and I hope it does you too! 😘
