I took this shot at Sunshine Lavender Farm last summer during our Lavender Faire events. It reminds me of how far away summer seems as we’re blanketed by overcast, rain, and at times relentlessly howling winds. (And yesterday as I wrote this the weather icon on my computer predicted snow – yet a predicted low of only 34 degrees F). In its various forms in many locations it seems that Winter isn’t willing to let go.
