lavender harvest

i am a week or so behind in harvesting my lavender. 
it has been prime, purply, perfect and prodding me to pick.
over the weekend, i finally got to this charming annual chore of mine and loved every minute of it.
the bees weren't a problem like last year. maybe because the blooms are a bit past their prime, hmmm?



after tying them in bundles, i will hang them inside to dry for a week or two and then collect the blossoms, storing them for use throughout the year.

i'm looking forward to these fresh, dried blossoms to add to cookies, cakes, cupcakessoap,
bath bombsgreen tea toner.......and basically anything i can think of that these aromatic lovelies could enhance.
