Among the lavender
























One of my favorite summer traditions is going with my friend/neighbor Ginger to the lavender fields in Hillsboro, Oregon. We missed the Lavender Festival which was last weekend but that was okay since we had the whole field at Bishop House to ourselves! They work on an honor system there. You leave $5 in a jar (cash or check) and cut a basketful with the scissors they provide. It is peaceful and smells lovely. You can hear the bees buzzing away- hard at work. They leave you alone as they are in some sort of a bee trance which is good because Ginger is allergic to bee stings. Every year we run into the Swiss Parade as we are leaving. This year we got to tell the Sheriff that the parade was ready to start and to hit the siren! We then had a fantastic lunch and some laughs! I have a lavender infused house now and lots of plans for my lavender! XOXO
