I finally cut the rest of the lavender from the yards. Shaped the plants so they'll look nice throughout the winter. There were lots of blooms this year so I'm happy with the yield. I had posted some photos in the past about the plants that looked dead but they did come back to life. One did not bloom but it will next year. Lost 2 at Angie's house which I'll replace. Fall is actually a good time to plant.
What a great weekend I had. Lavender Assoc meeting Friday morning (more about that next post) Went to dinner with some old friends Friday night. Then we had our "funny" friends over for a barbeque Saturday night. One couple had just bought a fiery red corvette so we enjoyed teasing about "second childhood." Of course I did sit in it just to feel the luxury --- pretty nice I must admit. The other couple is/are the funniest people we've every known. So we laughed all night long. What a gift -- that ability to make people laugh. We are so fortunate that they want to share it with us.
During the day Saturday, the Blue Angels practiced for the Sunday airshow. A couple of time I ran outside and was able to see them in formation overhead. On Sunday our church was invited to a member's home near the airport for a potluck barbeque and to watch the air show from his yard. There was so much food that my cupcake pan was missing only one. So I took them home (a potluck no-no) and delivered them to the neighbors. (Baking for the neighbors is actually a vandalism prevention tool. If kids are out looking for mischief, they'll probably bypass the "baker lady's" house.)
Some say "Wake up, and smell the roses" but I say "Relax, and smell the Lavender." Melt away stress with lavender-filled neck wraps, eye pillows, sachets made from beautiful fabrics.
Lavender Sachet Sets
I'm making these for my friend, Ellen, and will mail them to her when all done. These are 4x6" cotton, 2 sachets to a set tied with a ribbon. I have also put together some hanging sachets using a lavender colored panne fabric on one side--very pretty--smells great! 9/14/12
