Angie and I did a quick weekend getaway with her little Scamp trailer to Gateway Canyon on the Dolores River. We had it all to ourselves and the weather was perfect. The area has beautiful canyon scenery and at night the stars are magnificent. The bonfire was wonderful.
Then back home to reality. Cleaning the last of this year's lavender. And tomorrow morning I'm off to my friend, Roberta's, house to help cut the last of the lavender in her labyrinth.
Last week I had made some Lavender/Buckwheat Hull Pillows for a customer from Denver. He had purchased on from me at the July Lavender Festival and liked it. Since he was coming to Grand Junction to pick up a new camper, he wanted to get some more pillows for it and some for gifts. He picked out these 4. He and his wife love the fragrance and the fact that they can just pull off the covers and wash them.
The cool nights here are making all of the flowers vibrant and bright ... or maybe it just seems that way because they know summer is coming to an end. I guess Denver and Boulder got some light snow and we had a few cool and rainy days, but right now it is gorgeous. (I did post on my Facebook page a picture of my sox ... first time I had to put them on all summer). Here is a pic of some of the flower pots that Con plants each year in the backyard. 9/15/14
