these days

The clouds that brought rain today.

We cut the lavender and made little bunches to hang it to dry,
 a way to remember summer during the long winter days.  
The lavender we planted a couple of years ago has given lots 
of flowers this year, it's attracting so many bees it's such a 
joy to see it. I've cut only a small part of the flowers and left 
the rest for the bees. Though if I cut it now I might have the 
chance of a second crop in september.

I found few things at the flea market that I like a lot, some I 
will keep, other I will sell it at knots.

The pace has slowed down a lot here.

lovely photos. I love lavender and have some in the garden, so I've been doing the same thing as you did. cutting a little bit and leaving the rest for the bees.
