Not so small but we got to hug our second born after not seeing him for 7 weeks!
2. Bastille Day is celebrated on July 14th…have you ever been to France?

No, I’ve never been to France.

Any desire to visit there, and if so what would site or city would you most want to see? (pretend for a minute international travel isn’t an issue)

A croissant and cassoulet

Speaking of France, our lavender is in it’s glory right now. It is always a treat to weed around the lavender and enjoy that fragrance.

Ellen, your lavender is absolutely gorgeous. I love it’s fragrance. So glad you got to hug your son after many weeks. Looks like you have lots of garlic to share. Enjoy your day.
Hello,
I would love to grow some lavender, I love the scent. It is great you were able to visit and hug your son.
Take care, enjoy your day!
…my garlic isn’t looking good!
Lavender looks lovely! Do you bring any indoors for fragrance?
Kiki, Absolutely. We love the fragrance.
very glad that the long shift is over… can’t even imagine… especially these days
Funny, France is not high on my list either… especially these days…
your lavendar is marvelous!
lavender…good grief!
the lavender is so pretty
your lavender is so beautiful!
I have been to Mont St Michel and it’s fascinating, also quite touristy now but still worth a visit. Normandy and the surrounding countryside is lovely…we especially enjoyed Bayeux (home to the famous tapestry) and Honfleur ( a seaside town). Your lavender is so pretty!
I have two lavender plants growing in pots. Lavender will not winter over here in Northwest Wisconsin, so I bring the pots in. So far so good, I have been able to winter my plants over going on 4 years.
Your lavender looks wonderful. Love the smell of it too!!
Love your Lavender. It looks real pretty. Have you been to Sequim and their Lavender Festival? So many fields of purples

I have friends who go every year to this? I’d love to go sometime. I think it’s about a 3 or 4 hour drive from me. I can’t remember but it looks pretty. I’ve visited a few lavender farms in Oregon that were gorgeous.
MaryBeth, Yes we’ve been to the Lavender festival in Sequim when we lived in Kenmore. We went 3 or 4 different years. Always such a treat especially if you can dodge the crowds.
Loved your answers and your garden, and I’ll take garlic…lol. You can never have too much garlic.
Your lavender is beautiful. I need to cut mine now as it’s beginning to dry out. I love France and have visited 4 times. Not just Paris, but the beautiful countryside of Normandy and Provence. We visited the Canadian/British landing beaches from D-Day and found it very meaningful.
