It’s always a good idea to see a bit of summer, even in winter.
Happy Thursday.

Happy Sunday.

Yum, deer salad!
Lavender is everywhere, and the bees love it!
Lake views abound.

Summer Fragrance Memories
After all my snowy posts, it’s time to remember what is awaiting us … soon.
Wild Lavender
I found this wild lavender plant while out for a ramble.
It was scraggly and unkempt looking and growing next to a sage bush, but I could discern its familiar scent well before I saw it. Despite the heat and the smoke, it’s thriving in its little niche.
Happy Thursday. 🙂
Bee Lavender
This lush lavender bush was positively humming with bees when I saw it on my walk today. I could hear their pleasant and busy droning from quite a distance.
Somewhere nearby there is a fine lavender honey hive. Do you see any bees?
May 14’s Friday Flower
A little lavender for luck.
Happy Friday; happy weekend. 🙂
Friday Flower
It may be snow white up here in NWT, but for that reason, I think it’s time for a Friday flower.
The photo above, taken a couple of years ago, is of a bunch from one of my lavender pots. Lavender is said to bring luck. In ancient times, it was burned in bonfires to ward off evil or to entice good fortune.
Despite its reputation as an “old lady” flower, I have always loved it for its fragrance and pretty purple flowers. Dried, it can last a long time; I like to keep it in my closet to repel moths, and outside, it repels mosquitoes.
And, as if that’s not enough, lavender scent will help you to sleep, and more deeply, as well.
It’s certainly one of nature’s beautiful presents. Do you grow lavender?
Happy Friday; happy weekend. 🙂
