Weekend Inspiration {7.9}

I’m preparing for a busy week ahead, but I’m still taking time to savor the summer with early morning yoga & tea, weeding flowerbeds, wandering up the hill on dewy mornings to pick bouquets of flowers for vases, and cooking with fragrant lavender (more on that soon!).

{Food}

• How to Make Homemade Ice Cream Without a Machine @ David Lebovitz… Just in case you had a craving on a hot summer’s day…
