as some of us know, life can be scented like lavender fields and sunshine, or as sour as a lemon...
I consider my life a mix of both
and actually, cooking with lemon and lavender is delightful with chicken
I'm just saying....
too many people I meet are so down trodden with their lives! savor the sweet and use the sour to turn it into something fresh
go ahead...........give it a try!
xo + blessings,
Well said, Anne Marie!
ReplyDeleteMay you be blessed with lots and lots of lemonade!:)

The lemons and lavender looks so fabulous together. I never tried to cook with lavender. Do you have the chicken recipe?

See, another photograph that could torn from the page from a magazine..such talent. You should submit them to someone..I don't who.lol Just someone who could publish them.
ReplyDeleteI was reading some memoirs of family members that grew up during the depression. Three or four sentences of how hard the time were, among pages and pages of fond memories of simpler pleasures. Your post reminded me of them. That and I would love some lemon curd about now!
Have a wonderful evening, Lynea
Amen!!
ReplyDeleteLovely vignette!
It is all good, isn't it?

Oh Anne Marie,
ReplyDeleteYou beat me to it !! You were next on my list for commenting. I have just got back from my sisters and am so behind with commenting ..... I'm trying to catch up and failing miserably !! I hope to be back on track soon.
Isn't my brother-in-laws car wonderful ? He and my husband go to Le Mans in France every summer for a week and I stay wth my sister. They have 'car' fun and we have 'eat, drink and shopping fun' !! hehe. My sister lives a couple of hours drive away from me and lives in a wonderful town. I'm afraid where I live isn't quite so pretty but I am really close to some very pretty villages. My sister and I went to Rye which is a wonderful English seaside town. It was the birthdays of some friends of ours and you will see the party they had, as I took photographs. There maybe some more inspiration there for you !!
Now, enough about me.....your photographs of Lemons and Lavender are just beautiful. Whenever we have a chicken I always put a lemon and herbs in the cavity, it gives it so much flavour, doesn't it ?
Have a lovely week, Anne Marie. XXXX
