There is a resort not far from my home which hosts an annual Lavender Festival.  My friend Lisa and I decided to attend.  We left early to avoid the heat and crowd.  It was so beautiful with the fields of lavender in bloom as far as we could see.  It almost felt like we were in Tuscany.  I bought some doggy lavender soap for Koko and Hiro, though I don’t know why  since they go to a groomer… I guess the idea of them smelling like lavender appealed to me.  They even had plein air painters doing their thing.
