Last weekend my son Jake found this monarch butterfly at Purple Ranch Lavender Farm. The night before we had some really high winds and some torrential rain. What a survivor. I love to watch movies and this butterfly reminded me of the American movie "The Memphis Belle". The story of a bomber crew during WWII. The Memphis Belle was a plane. There are a couple of scenes where all the men stand out on the tarmac after the missions and count the planes as they come in. This butterfly reminded me of one of those planes that came in and the wings were just torn up from the abuse it had taken. When I see things like this I realize that sometimes life is beautiful and everything seems to go right. Then there are those times when the wings seem to fall off. I hope I find all of you with your wings in tact. Until next time. Lavender Up!

I just love the last few statements you made in this blog. The idea of things going well and then the wings fall off. Isn't that the way life is. We were never promised life would be easy. But with God we can get through those wing falling off moments.
Love you,
