Did you know, You should never use a trimmer while wearing shorts?
I found out the hard way. I was trying to trim around my lavender, There are a few rocks around the base. Not a lot, but I did throw a few. (with the trimmer). I felt every one of them.
Then suddenly I felt something running down my leg, I had thrown a piece of lavender INTO my leg. No lie. I thought it was a piece of the trimmer line, because it was purple. As pulled it out I realized it was a piece of stem, with purple flower heads on it.
Man did that hurt!!!
I let the blood flow but Put away the trimmer, David is better at that anyway.
I got down on my knees and (prayed), that too!
No I got down on my knees and trimmed with scissors.
The grass under my plants was at least 8 inches high.
Right now I need to go out and pull the heads off the lavender and place it in sachets. Sounds nice Huh?
Nan that may be something you want to grow.
A couple of weeks ago I was standing by the pool, I suddenly smelled something really nice. I kept sniffing the air, I could not sense the source. As I stepped into the pool I turned and there it was My Lavender. DUH,,,
I told David "As sensitive as I am to scents, you would think I recognized Lavender when I smell it."
How is this for rambling?
I sure wish Coy and Lou would come out while the weather is nice for swimming. I know they would enjoy it and a day in Lassen park is always good in the summer.
Oh well, whatever is good anyway. We look forward to their visit.
We are supposed to have two grandsons this month but no word yet on When.
Hey guys put them on Amtrack. That will get them here and they are old enough to be smart on a train.
He maketh me to lie down in Green Pastures,
He leadeth me beside the stillwaters.

Coy and Louellen are coming out? How fun! You can have 2 or 3 grandsons from here lol.. Though mine are younger and the younger 2 are likely to drive you to exhaustion.
I will figure out a place to grow some. I LOVE the smell of Lavender. Hey, they deer have not bothered the rose bushes at the end of the drive and they are huge and GORGEOUS!!!!! I have not been in the yard much, Larry cannot stand to see me out there working and he cannot do it. Oh well, He is doing a little in the yard now, but just a little..
