Lingering Summer
September has been a beautiful month, full of hot days and cool nights, sunshine and flowers! Yes, my flowers are still going strong, in fact, the delphiniums are blooming again, as is the lavender. I went out this morning and took time to smell the beautiful roses. I cut this bunch of lavender for drying to use in some sachets.
I'm spending today doing some sewing and crafting - hopefully I'll have something to show soon.

ReplyDeleteWe'll we looking forward to seeing what you've been up to in the sewing and crafting department.
Happy Day!
I just re-read your September 21st post. Thank you again. It is not only beautiful, but inspiring.
ReplyDeleteNow I'm looking at your lavender and thinking (enter jealousy, not a very attractive or charitable sentiment I admit): "Hers are much more purple/mauve than mine, maybe I better rush out and cut my winter bouquets."
What do you think? I hope it's not too late. All I know is yours are prettier than mine.
All the best,

ReplyDeleteHi Lorrie,
ReplyDeleteThat lavender is really pretty. I can't wait get some flower gardens established here at the farm. It would be nice to have fresh colorful fragrant bouquets occasionally.
Thanks for sharing
