Jardin du Soleil Lavender Farm part 1
Jardin du Soleil Lavender Farm. I’ll post two more pictures from here tomorrow and the next day. What a peaceful place to explore…the scent of lavender in the air and the humming of bees as you walk around is a great combination.
Start of Lavender Festival
This is Olympic Lavender Farm, another farm on the tour for the Lavender Festival.
Lavender Festival on the way
The Lavender Festival starts tomorrow. It’s the largest lavender event in North America. The photo above is Port Williams Lavender, one of the farms on the tour. Locals, are you ready?
Lavender Harvest
Now normally one would think I would show you a picture of this in August at the very latest…but my summer was different this year. Friday I spent the day taking the dried buds off the stalks so that in two weeks when my garden helpers come back, I will have a place to put my outdoor plants away before the first frost. I’ve had a bit of a hurt shoulder as of late. This task was fairly easy…and when I was done, I smelled really good!
Today is the Day!
Today I celebrate one year as a DCP Blogger! It has been a great experience. I have enjoyed all of the friends I have met, learning new things every day from other bloggers, and looking at my world in a new and different way. I would especially like to thank all of you who have stopped by and visited. You have made me happy to share Sequim. Today I am sharing our annual “in the lavender” photo. Joining me are “baby girl” and “my big boy”, the shining lights of my life.
Volunteers Make It Happen
This smiling lady was a volunteer at Angel Farm. They had a French Theme with food from Cest si Bon. As you can tell by her shirt, she belongs to Soroptomist International. It takes a lot of volunteers to make the festival happen. I have posted other Lavender pictures on an additonal page (under the picture on the right). By Wednesday I promise to move on to something else.
