Lavender

 Kyle loves the smell of fresh or dried lavender.

It grows all over the place in Utah.

There are HUGE bins full of it

in the parking lot of the sporting goods

store in Logan.

So the smell reminds him of Utah.

(His favorite place on earth...)

He has tried.

And tried.

And tried.

And tried.

But he just doesn't seem to be successful

at growing lavender.

Until THIS time!

It's gorgeous!

And it smells WONDERFUL!

It is sharing a small box with my stevia.

Which is pretty prolific.

I keep trimming it and putting it in a bag

in the freezer.

When there is a bunch I'll pop it in the 

freeze drier - dry it and then powder it

in my food processor and

presto!

Stevia!

I'm excited.

But not as excited as Kyle is 

about his LAVENDER!
