Raindrops on Lavender

Julie Andrews may not have sung about rain drops on lavender in the Sound of Music, but yesterday I witnessed the most beautiful rain shower at the lavender farm, and I couldn't help thinking that rain is becoming one of my favorite things. I love the way the rain makes me slow down and notice the sound of the wind and drops falling from the sky. I love the way it leaves nature looking clean, peaceful, and green when the storm ends. And I love the way it smells after it rains.

We're getting ready to plant lavender out in the fields within the next week or two (thank goodness it's finally warming up!). We will have some lavender plants available for purchase after the planting is completed, so if you're interested in buying lavender plants, come down to the farm during Farm Day (June 13) or Lavender Days (June 27-28), or call the Visitors Center to place an order.
