This weekend the annual lavender festival begins in Sequim Washington. It was so wonderful to go to the festival in years past. In honor of the festival and other lavender festivals around the area here are the lavender plants on our acreage at our country bungalow.
Today is my second cataract surgery on my left eye. We left home at O-dark-thirty again to get to Spokane in time for the surgery. We will be in Spokane all day as my follow-up appointment is on Friday afternoon. Back to drops and more drops 4 times a day for a while.
We are under severe fire warnings right now and there are several wildfires that are making our skies cloudy with smoke not pretty fluffy clouds. The air quality is not good so we stay inside as much as possible. Hoping for the containment of all the fires in the Northwest! Hope the skies are clear where you are.

Hello Ellen,
Sending prayers and good wishes for you and your surgery! I hope you recover quickly.
The lavender looks so pretty! Take care, have a happy weekend!
My husband was just talking this morning about how much he loves the smell of lavender. Praying all goes well with your surgery.
…lavender festivals are popping up all around here too!
Glad the surgeries are behind you. Soon the drops will be as well. I am jealous of your beautiful lavender.
Goodness, I had no idea you had so much lavender! Beautiful and prolific.
May your recovery be swift and complete.
Praying for you, dear friend. Thanks for sharing the lovely lavender.
Lavender is my absolute favorite fragrance. Love seeing them growing in mass! Praying your recovery goes well. And also that the fires will soon be contained.
Lavender is one of my favorite flowers and scents. It runs in our family, my mother and sister loved it too. Your photos are beautiful! I will be thinking of you today and praying for a speedy recovery from your cataract surgery. Hope those wildfires are under control very soon and that everyone stays safe and well.
Love lavender! Don’t have any growing around the house though. I should remedy that. There is a lavender farm just down the road out of town.
Praying all goes well with your eye surgery.
Thank you everyone. Surgery went well. I’ll post a little update today.
What beautiful lavender! I am glad your surgery went well. Blessings.
The lavender is wonderful — lovely pictures, I can almost catch the beautiful scent!!! Hoping that all the fires in your area are under control.
