Flowers are happy things
And none more so than lavender.
It’s bright and energetic
Perfuming the air
With its fragrance and colour
And vibrancy.
Lavender is the colour of summer for me.
What about you?

I realize it’s been forEVER but hello from California. 🙂 I just recently returned to quasi-blogging and reading my blog roll and it was lovely stopping in. My garden has several varieties of lavender and I can’t get enough. My favorite is the wild, leggy thing that hangs over and waves it’s beautiful purple tips around. Can you HAVE too much lavender?? Hope all is well and I’ll be checking back sooner than three years! Congrats on the five years of blogging. That’s amazing. 🙂
