playing with lavender

i've been harvesting lavender from the yard for a recipe i'm working on that i can't wait to share when i've worked out the quirks (luckily it's one i don't mind re-doing as there's something very sweet involved!). and isn't this lavender just so spring-y and pretty?!  

in other news, i have a little st. patrick's day surprise scheduled for tomorrow (hint: it involves a four legged family member).  i'd also just like to say a quick thank you to you all for reading, your comments and support. it means the world to me. have a lovely weekend my friends!
