Lavender in my garden

A couple of years ago we drove 4 hours up north for a lavender festival to see those beautiful purple fields. While people from cooler areas might not see it as a big deal, for us in the low desert with hot and dry summers it is very special. I bought a little potted plant of lavender as a souvenir and planted it in my garden later with not much hope for it to survive.

Surprisingly, the lavender bush is thriving and happy! I am still learning how to care for this but I was so happy to gather some flower stems.

The plant is blooming in a weird time (September through February) and giving just 2-3 stems per week but its alive and it makes me happy :)

Lavender summer

I felt under stress recently. There is something important  going on and I am worrying. So no cooking, no knitting, no stitching, no meetings with friends. I am just sitting in front of TV watching movies and counting hours until H hour.

I put a jar of lavender buds on my desk and it makes me feel better. I wish I could spend the day at the lavender farms but I can't. Instead I made this treasury is for you.

 The Russian Artists and MCTT team members works are featured along with the other great artists and crafters. Please enjoy!
