Notebook: Simple Center Piece

Often beauty is right in front of us - case in point: Lemon Basil!

Lemon basil is so lovely and fragrant and growing in way to much abundance in my garden. As I walked by yesterday a breeze must have blown across the basil at just the right time, because it's lemony fragrance definitely caught my attention. God has a way of doing that . . . when I need it most.

I grabbed my pair of garden scissors, snipped away and made this beautiful bouquet to enjoy.

    Sometimes it is just the smallest thing that can lift our mood or brighten things.

  6. I agree - grabbing the scissors and taking cuttings from outdoors to bring inside is a delight.
