If we are safe, warm and dry, and have food and drink, and peace of mind, and people around us who love us - then we are so so lucky 🥰 Everything else isn’t that important.
Happy Christmas, dear friends🎅🏼

🌱 #GardenSunday Here is a true garden heirloom. These bearded irises in my mother’s garden (she calls them “flags”) came from divisions in my grandmother’s garden. Mom gave me some divisions, and now they are growing in my garden. Cheers!

If you gave this bouquet to your sweetheart, how would they react?🌱
Mine was quite pleased. This is Italian flat leaf parsley and what’s left of the Genovese basil. All going into the dehydrator.
