I'm freshly infatuated by lavender. It is so beautiful and smells so amazing. I walked by a potent barrel of it at Whole Foods and it took everything in me not to buy some right then and there (it's ridiculously over-priced). Instead I think I will make my way out to Sauvie's Island (again) and pick some myself, for a much better price.
I'm excited to dry it, decorate with it, relax while smelling its soothing aroma, and maybe even cook with it!
