It's lavender time!!!



This is the harvest from one of the big lavender bushes in the back yard. I got six big bunches, and there's still the second bush to harvest. I found that I didn't cut the bushes back hard enough last year, and they went all sprawly and floppy this summer. I whacked them severely (cut back by about half, this time) and they should be much happier next year.

I am so jealous! I got some lavendar and tried to grow it, but it all died. That picture is just precious!

I'm jealous. I never could get lavender to bloom while I lived in Florida. It would grow... but no blooming. I don't have any in the yard here (yet!).

Great picture of Emma. She's such a cutie pie.
