the Tree of Life shares fragrance

Today I made a fragrant sachet from some of our dried lavender plants and recently purchased trims, applied to a recycled white scarf and a patch of luscious wool from a vacation in Maine.

 

Will be sending this off to my oldest living childhood friend in Pennsylvania with birthday wishes and appreciation for our 68 years of staying in touch!

 

Interesting concept:

 

"The meaning of life is not to be discovered only after death

in some hidden, mysterious realm;

on the contrary,

it can be found by eating the succulent fruit of the Tree of Life

and by living in the here and now

as fully and creatively as we can."

(I wonder how Mr, Kurtz can be so sure of this! Definitely something to ponder! Whatever, I do try to live fully and creatively in the here and now!)

 

I do know that my sister's dearest friend, who passed away only last week, was guiding me through the garden yesterday with serendipitous inspirations! As I placed a gorgeous pink hydrangea next to our flamingo, I had NO idea Janet was crazy about such whimsical garden sculptures! My sister was in disbelief when I forwarded a pic to her, along with an amazing poem on Flamingo Spirit!
