It'll take a few days to settle into our rhythm, but I felt like a quick hello.
Early last week I was out in the garden and noticed the lavender was in full bloom - it seems so early! I love baking with lavender and plan on a bit of that this week. I'd also like to make some lavender jam/jelly. Years ago I worked on an herb farm where we made the most delicious rose geranium jelly (scented geraniums are tasty to bake with too). I'm thinking lavender jelly would be wonderful. A simple syrup infused with lavender sounds nice as well. I could keep it in the fridge and add to iced tea made with white tea or chamomile tea.
A Monday morning spent daydreaming about lavender... feels like a good start.
I should probably run now... it's 9:30 and my girl is still in bed. Not sleeping, not vertical either. It seems my seventh grader (!!!!!) has found her summer groove just fine. Up until midnight watching the season premier of Design Star, then reading. Slow to greet the day in the morning. Ah, to be twelve...
