So on Monday, the doorbell rings and my friend Sally is standing at the front door. She tells me that she comes "bearing garlic and lavendar". I go outside and see that she has a car full of lavendar plants to give away. Her and Mike (hubby & Devon's co-worker) have been busy clearing out a neighbor's garden and are giving away all the unwanted plants.They ask me how many of the lavendar plants I would like. Hmm? "How about all of them", I answer. After a quick consult, Sally and Mike instruct me to plant the lavendar in the sunniest spot I have. They also pass along a huge bag of garlic plants. Which will please Devon to no end.
Yesterday, I had the boys out digging a trench in front of our garage. This is the sunniest area we've got, plus if the plants take, the purples/blues of the lavendar will look awesome against my beige siding.
While the boys were digging... we could all smell the lavendar. It is absolutely gorgeous. I am so excited that Sally & Mike thought to drop by with these awesome gifts. Lucky lucky me!
