ReplyDeleteHello Alison,
ReplyDeleteLavender is so pretty. I grow lavender through out my front landscape. The butterflies love it and I pick it in bunches all summer long.
Burning lavender smells so good.

Wishing you a wonderful week!!!!

Dear Lydia,
ReplyDeleteI love your new lavender heading and the article about lavender.
It is a wonderful plant, nature's great gift to us.
It indeed soothes and calms, clearing the mind. Therefore I loke burning dried lavender during meditations.
Blessings

Lydia,
ReplyDeleteI love lavender as well. People who grow herbs and fruit trees at home become aware of the Law of abundance. When we realize that Nature give us beautiful gifts and blessings as the result of some focused investment of energy and Love, we grow as human beings...
All the best.
Hello Olivia,
ReplyDeleteThank you! your lavender gift has inspired me to change my blog heading and post on lavender.
Lavender is so relaxing and calming to smell during meditation. I use to simmer it in my potpurri pot all the time.
I have 4 huge lavender plants along side of my rose bushes. I plan on planting more next year.
I have both purple and white.
Wishing you a nice day!
Lydia
Hello Boris,
ReplyDeleteI love to plant fruit trees in my yard. I am slowly adding to my fruit tree collection every year and reaping great rewards, full of delicious organic fruit.
I love the way your homeland looks at nature! This is so true, nature has so many gifts for us, but often times we get so caught up in the man made material things that we tend to overlook the gifts of nature.
Wishing you a great day!!!!!!!!
Lydia
Great post Lydia I used to grow some lavender too! Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteHello Jamerson,
ReplyDeleteThank you! I hope to plant more next year.
Have a nice weekend,
Lydia
That garden field looks like a bit of heaven!
ReplyDeleteLavender reminds me of my grandmother who loved to travel. She always brought back home boxes heavenly lavender soaps fresh from Europe. It was like magic to me. Those little dainty boxes of soap made me feel like a princess.
Hello Lady prism,
ReplyDeleteYour grandmothers both had good taste in soaps and scents. Lavender is the best.
I just love growing it in the summer. I usually add a new plant every year.
White Lavender is pretty too. I have just one of the white in my front landscape, the rest is purple.
Have a great day!
Lydia
