One of My Favorite Parts of Summer: Lavender


I love lavender!  Love it!  And one of my favorite things to do in the summer is gather lavender, tie it up, and hang it to dry so that I can later make lavender satchels.  It's the gift that keeps on giving.


 I think I got it from my Grandma.  Every time we walked by a lavender bush she would pick a sprig and smell it.  When I was younger I didn't get it, then I started imitating her, because I love her so.  Now whenever I walk past a lavender bush I pick one and smell its sweet fragrance.


Making the satchels is really easy.  After the lavender is dry pick it off and put it in the bag.  Then, whenever you want to smell it, crush the lavender a little so oil is released.  So nice.
