The English lavender is ready to harvest! It's the most fragrant thing in my house. In fact, I can smell it as I list and look at the photos I am posting.
But I have decided to dry this lavender. I will rubber band it and hang it upside down. When dry, I will shake and brush the buds off for later use. English lavender is good for culinary purposes too.
I also picked some wild daisies and cornflowers at my parent's farm in Wisconsin. I was there to wish my father a Happy Father's Day. Wishing all fathers a blessed day.
Peonies are in full bloom, as well as lupine, coral bells, and bearded iris.
Here are more flower seeds that have not even been planted yet for hollyhocks and who-knows-what-else.
More second-act peonies.
Found these old photos today from the ranch in Idaho. The original Moulton ranch was in Jackson Hole WY and these items came from there. This is an old trunk covered in a branded cow hide. Very cool, no?
Also I had photographed these old wood skis and snowshoes that were used on the ranch in Jackson, Wy.
