I love the lavender bush Arta planted along the side of the house on lot three. When it is in bloom, it is covered in pollinators. If you look at the bush in the morning you can find many different kinds of bees sleeping and snacking on it.
I'm a little obsessed with finding and holding sleepy bees. I know I shouldn't wake them (I don't like it when I get woken up) but... there you go.
I learned from Miranda that you could make a delicious lavender simple syrup with the blossoms. It makes a lovely floral lemonade (that pairs beautifully with Empress Gin).
This morning there is an air quality warning because the smoke rolled in last night from forest fires in Boston Bar.

| View this morning. Where did the lake and Bastion mountain go? |
So this morning, thinking about possible indoor activities, I decided to make some syrup.

| Breakfast? |
Hope you enjoy your own refreshing drink today!
