~lavender harvest~

hello friends!

Yes, I know now you must surely be

flat out flabbergasted that I'm back....

{via fleaing france}

well like I said....I'm trying

to change my wayward ways....

trying to get my brain to think of things

I can talk to you about....

one such "thing" was right outside my kitchen

window....

my lavender plants....

which I do believe need to be harvested....

now.

believe it or not...I haven't wanted

to cut them down because they've been

covered with bees....

yes I'm a softy like that.

don't wanna take away their pollen ya know?

{if it helps you understand me...I once saved a slug after covering

it in salt....oh bother!}

but I think I better hurry up

or I'm afraid I might miss out...

this picture is from a lavender festival in France...

wouldn't that be amazing???

just to stroll through the fields?

anyone else have lavender to harvest??

when do you cut them?

I found instructions on Pinterest (where else??)

here's the link in case you're

interested!

Have a great weekend!!!

xoxo,

Shellagh
