That gorgeous color...
The velvet blooms that call out, "Touch me! Smell me!"
I went out to collect some stems and Addie was so excited about the entire process. She took a sniff of one and held it up in the air giggling and shouting,
"I LOVE IT!"
"I LOVE IT!"
Then held out a flower to me with a, "Cheers!!!" My thoughts exactly.
Every time I walk past these beauties on my kitchen counter, it makes me smile.
There is still so much left outside and Curt asked me what I was going to do with it all... Good question, my love! I have endless visions of homemade oils and lotions. I saw a recipe for lavender shortbread cookies somewhere---where was it, again? Oh, this summer's gonna be good!

I LOVE lavender too! Yours is so gorgeous. I've always wanted to cook with it. I'd love to hear how our cookies turn out! Cheers! I love it!
Thanks Kerry! I am working on getting ahold of a cookie recipe that I will definitely share if it turns out well. Take care--
Love lavender! I make lavender almond tea cakes for our farmer's market. I usually use the dry leaves... So delicious!
Cheers! Indeed! What a cutie pie and such lovely lavender!
Oh my! I love, love, love lavender. My friend Kelly makes the most wonderful lavender scones and lavender lemonade... They're just perfect on a hot summer afternoon!
I'm doing In Search of Summer too. It's fun!
Thank you all so much for the kind words and encouragement---Erin, lavender scones sound like heaven!!! Hooray for summer!
