    I love that closeup of the bee. We’ve seen – and smelled – some gorgeous lavender plants on this trip. I took a tour on one farm in Sequim and learned the difference between, and the different uses for, English virus French lavender. I imagine the bees don’t care which one they are enjoying.

      Thank you, Janis! It was great seeing you all together in BC. I’d love to visit Sequim, it’s not that far! Lavender is both beautiful and useful!

    So beautiful, Terri. I was reading the other comments, I’ve planted dahlias for the first time this year and I’m not looking forward to the amount of work I’ll be doing in a couple of months either 😀

      Terri, I am so sorry for typing, “Amy” – huge apologies! I have a friend named Amy, so all I can figure is that maybe she was thinking about me when I typed her name! And then I see that I got back on track when I typed, “Terri”. Sorry, Terri!
