Picking Lavender

I have four large lavender bushes along the side of the house

and this year I was reading that if you want them to continue

to grow, you need to cut the lavender, which is just the

same as pruning the bushes.  So this afternoon I did just that.

I picked enough for 10 bundles and hung them to dry in my studio.

Now, that was a fun little chore!  It looks charming and I felt for

about 30 minutes that I was living in the pages of

Country Living Magazine. haha.
