The weather was perfect this weekend for getting out into the gardens and doing some weeding and watering ~ we are hoping for some much needed rain soon!
I also got some lavender cut...
And, the henhouse was cleaned, feed was bought, sweet cherries were picked, and I almost finished sewing a pair of brown linen capri pants ~ a good weekend in all!
Such a beautiful nest. My mum adn I came across a small robin's egg that had already been hatched lying in our garden...the colours are spectacular! Sounds like you had a wonderful weekend!

I want to live with you! That's my kind of weekend! When you have a minute, could you email me about your cherry trees. Are they dwarf variety, do you spray them? I'm thinking about getting two this fall.

What a sweet nest. It's amazing it survived in such good condition. I love your lavender. A friend just sent me some photos of lavender crafts she and her friends made--sachets, ribbon woven wands and a lavender fan. Gotta get me some!
ReplyDeleteAh- must be in the wind...I also found several nests over the weekend...one is occupied; while the other was empty- I will post pics soon too. The second one is very interesting, the mother bird actually made the nest out of Bella's hair~ as in our new blonde lab. Oh- the wonders of nature! Your pictures are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteWell done Deb, sounds like you had a productive weekend despite the heat.
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by Pieces of the Puzzle :) I love this little nest; I collect them but we don't really have them here in Juneau. Don't know where they nest.... Eagle's nests and I found one really big nest made of twigs once, I think it belonged to a Blue Jay. But I love traveling south and seeing all the nests in the bare-leaved trees. Love your garden picture. Cozy, comfy. Nancy
ReplyDeleteWe've enjoyed a cooler weekend as well (thank goodness!). What will you do with the nest? It looks perfect! Your lavender is beautiful!! ♥
ReplyDeleteIsn't it pleasant to do yardwork when the temps are in the 70's? We're sweltering hot here -- 90's.
ReplyDeletePretty pics.

Your lavender is so pretty! Mine is just starting to open.I love the smell of it.
ReplyDeleteYour basket of lavender is beautiful... I have always wanted to grow it, but don't even know if it grows here.
ReplyDeleteNice weekend. I love the pleasure you find in your nest :)
ReplyDeleteWhat delightful things you have listed as being finsihed in a day! The nest is beautiful. I found a tiny little speckeled egg on the ground recently. I'll be posting it on my blog soon. I love the old chair you have the lavender sitting on and I can almost smell the wonderful fragrance of your gatherings! Blessings!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos Deb. We have a Robin nesting in the arbour above our garden swing - she seems to be quite content considering it's an area where our family sits and where my husband barbeques :-}
ReplyDeleteYour lavender is amazing! and your little vignette on the wooden chair is really lovely.
Please tell me what kind of lavender you have planted. Mine is not such a beautiful lavender color. This is a most delightful blog.
ReplyDeleteThank you
April
oh fresh cut lavender. what a dream!
ReplyDeleteThe little nest and eggs are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteAlso, if you don't mind, would you tell me exactly what kind of lavender you grow? I've tried a couple and none of mine have the beautiful blooms like you have. I live south of Atlanta, so it is VERY hot here. Yours is just beautiful!
Thanks!
P.S. I just read the comments and someone else asked my same question. Sorry! I would love to know the variety, though.
Your weekend sounds lovely, Deb. Such beautiful lavender and a sweet little nest. How sad that it fell down though.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a wonderful 4th of July with your family!

Deb...that basket of lavender would be beautiful hanging on my front door! With a little red and white check ribbon...lol!
ReplyDeleteOh your lavender looks beautiful. " of my lavender bushes in the purple lavender hedge died last year, so I replaced them with a pink and a white lavender. I'm really pleased with their colourings now they've flowered this year - love Julia x
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a wonderful weekend. I hope your holiday was equally so.
ReplyDeleteThat basket of lavender looks so pretty.
Your shirt turned out very nice. I love the color.
I need to cut my lavender. I love how you displayed it in the wicker basket.
