Lavender

I have not had a dishwasher for 40 years
So freshly washed WET tea towels
Might get the lavender treatment.

Sweet Lavender

The sweet scent of lavender is wafting through my kitchen window
On gazing out my sight alighted on this sweet wee child..

Love and light Marie.

Five Minutes Ago

I walked down the side of my home and ran my hands along the top of my small lavender hedge

The smell was heavenly, so I thought I would share that with you all

Love and light  Marie

Lavender

My lovely lavender hedge is in full bloom, the bees are buzzing around it, the smell is glorious, so strong and pungent.
The colors of the smoky blue, purplish flowers on green stalks are a joy to the eye. When I am out in my garden I always run my hands through them and bruise the flowers on my wrist, so that their lovely smell stays with me a little longer.


This picture is of my lavender hedge and herb walk, I have herbs between paving stones.

summer berries

On my homestead, my 25 year old organic garden, is bearing up under the summer sun. The raspberries and Boysenberries are starting to appear. I have covered them with bird netting, to help protect them from being all eaten. I have created a little summer berry child, suitable to be played with by a child, and made of pure New Zealand wool. The lavender hedge flowers are just starting to burst, soon they will be in glorious color. "Happy days"
