ReplyDeleteHappy Spring Linda, I love how beautiful your gardens are! My Lilac still looks dormant or dead from our winter. We are going to be getting lots of rain this next week; perfect timing for us to head to Sonoma County for a weekend-we have to be there for a memorial service. I do miss northern Ca. in the winter. Lucky ladies who won your make over. I have known Diana for many years, love her to pieces.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!

ReplyDeleteLinda,
ReplyDeleteYour lavender, oh my. My heart skipped a beat. I am in love with Lavender and of course it does not grow well in Texas. Your gardens are an Oasis and I can only imagine the inviting fragrance.
