Lavender and Stellas

Everyone can use a pretty flower to start the day, and when lavender is in bloom, not much is more pleasing to the eyes or nose, except, perhaps, lilac, neon star dianthus or Sweet William.

The lavender looks very nice next to the sunny Stella d’Oros:

I love that name ~ Stella. It reminds me of Elaine (of Seinfeld fame) when she was stoned on muscle relaxers in Florida after sleeping on the fold out couch. While at the roast for Jerry's dad, she kept shouting "Stella!" Cracks me up every time I hear the name.

My sky today is a million times better than the dark grey thunderclouds that greeted me yesterday. Notice the small plane passing overhead; we are near a very small airport for small planes only ~ maybe three or four miles at the most.

He or she certainly picked the perfect day to fly. If you can't be up there too, enjoying the beauty all around, have a very happy day, and knit on!!
