It's garden season, It's garden season!!

It is 12C in Sidney BC today. The windows are open and I've been outside perambulating the gardens. I pruned the Hidcote Lavenders in the Lavender walk. I then cut back my very vigorous Spanish Lavender when I noticed the snowdrops struggling underneath the huge branches that were almost horizontal from their own weight.

I just came in and noticed this!!! A sharp poke from the end of a cut lavender branch no doubt. And the garden season begins.

 

February is National Embroidery Month. Shall we celebrate!!

Is this not the most beautiful embroidery you have ever seen? I sure think so. This is The Bed Chamber of Marie Antoinette At Versailles. Can you imagine that someone actually went to bed every night in this incredible bedding. I am in awe...and I do not awe easily.
