and......as I stepped out the door today to leave for work.... I realized we had finally recreated our country yard. The dawn air was full of the smell of the lavender, and stocks...and pine trees and morning dew.

What a long journey this has been! 4 years to be exact (on the planting). I spent the first year I was back in the house staring at the desolate moonscape I had for yards in total disbelief. We are not done yet, but we are sooooo much closer to our goal. I had to remind myself that yards are never done. They are always a work in progress.

Eventually, the picket fences will be lined with more lavender... and Becky daisies, and CA poppies...and.........and......delphiniums...and...

Next summer it should be jussssssssssssssst right...lol
