Lavendar farm

  We went to Woodinville Lavendar this past Saturday.  It is absolutely gorgeous!!  When I see such beautiful farm country, I am taken to another place.  It's like I'm on vacation, exploring something new.  I am not sure where I got the idea of going to a lavender farm, but I wanted to go really bad.  I tend to get ideas in my head and can't shake them, so we went on our first available Saturday in a long time!  The nice thing about living in Bellevue is that it is so much closer to get to all of the farms.

  This is Provence lavender, a culinary type.  We cut our own bouquet of this variety.  There were bees all around, but the kids still wanted to get in there and cut away!

Here I am with my 39 week belly!

  You can see our bouquet a bit better here.  It's currently hanging upside down drying so we can enjoy it for a long time!  I may even try to make some it into a wreath, they were selling them there and were beautiful.

  We had a ton of lavender at our old house, but never clipped or dried it.  I just never really knew exactly what you were supposed to do.  Now I do.  Cut it off the bush.  Hang it upside down.  Would have been hard to figure out, I know.  :)
