Memorial Day and a Tour of the USS Essex LHD 2
On Memorial Day last year, the Boy Scouts along with veterans and military personnel visited a nearby cemetery to pay tribute. Caleb participated in a ceremony and carried one of the flags {pic above}.
We share our deepest appreciation and gratitude to those who sacrificed and laid down their lives so that we could live in freedom. Across our nation on this day we come together to remember, to observe, to honor, and to pay tribute for their service to the country.
• Flags are placed at graves like the ones at Arlington National Cemetery.
• There are parades and gatherings and special ceremonies at cities and towns.
• At public places and government buildings flags are flown at half-staff until noon.
• At 3 p.m. {local time} is the National Moment of Remembrance, a time to pause for one minute to remember the fallen.

Gardening, Spring Planting, and DIY Plant Markers
. . .
It felt good to be in the garden again. I’ve been taking advantage of the beautiful warm sunny days to clean the garden, sift the compost, pull weeds, and plant seeds. Just days after I planted these little radish seedlings they started to emerge and will soon be ready to harvest.

Mother’s Day ⎜Herb Bouquets ⎜Sweet Pastries
A bouquet of lavender leaves and rosemary flowers.
These precious hands {Hannah} held a sweet and simple herb bouquet for Mother’s Day. Clay pots that were once filled with dried herbs and lavender have new purposes as containers for fresh herbs. To see and photograph my children holding and preparing these bouquets were as much of a gift as it is to receive them.

Susan Wheeler HOME
.
“When you find something you really love, you will always be able to find a spot for it in your home,” Susan Wheeler.
Located in Seattle’s Georgetown neighborhood is this lovely shop, Susan Wheeler Home. It is brimming with unique vintage items, collectibles, antiques, salvage pieces, and furnishings. Susan Wheeler opened her shop to the public in October 2009 and for the past 5 years it has become a destination for shoppers and interior designers. The idea of having a shop filled with her favorite things wasn’t something Susan had set out to do. Before she began this new chapter in her life, her priority for 20 plus years was to be at home with her kids. Reflecting on this change in her life, Susan said,
“I am lucky to be able to have a shop where I can gather together things that I like and have the good fortune to have nice people come and find things they like too.”
