We've had a lovely weekend, with temperatures hitting 20 degree C both days, sun shine and blue skies - not the dreary grey, windy & rainy weather that passes as autumn in the UK. I've spend most of the weekend in the garden, potting up seedlings, planting spring bulbs and tidy up the window boxes. I have already taken cuttings from my lilac and white basil for the winter, rosemary is to come in october. The rhubarb should yield at least one more cake before the season is over. Since it's unlikely that there will be any more weekends like this I've harvested my lavender today, always with a sad heart, because it's so lovely to come home from work and sit at the back door in the evening sun for 20 minutes, surounded by that relaxing smell and watching the bees. I dry the lavender and put it in little organza bags to put in with the linen and on pillows so I can have that late summer scent all winter long.
I've spend a wole evening trying to get a semi-decent picture of a bee on the lavender (there were at least 6 on the go), but it took many attempts to get this one. Thank god for digital!
