I just love spring. Some of the lavender plants at Purple Ranch are blooming. The plants are tiny but they are supporting a lot of blooms. We are just amazed and wanted to share the first lavender blooms of spring with you.
Lavender. Don't leave home without it!
As you can see our Purple Ranch Mom (June) truly has a green thumb. Mom is able to grow any type of plant from a cutting, clipping or seed. Here are several examples of the beautiful flowers growing at Purple Ranch. Not only do we grow lavender, but many other varieties of wildflowers, roses, irises, Indian paintbrush, bluebonnets to name a few.
Purple Ranch Hand (that would be Cliff, my brother) has an awesome camera and he has taken some incredible photos that I would like to share with you.
I hope you enjoy these as much as I did.
Lavender. Don't leave home without it.
Well since Rolo had his own blog at Purple Ranch Lavender Farm, I thought you might enjoy seeing his sister Hope. She just loves Mom's dog Bonnie. The only problem is Bonnie doesn't want anything to do with her. Hope is at least three times bigger than Bonnie and she just runs up and licks Bonnie in the face which she hates, so she growls and snarls at Hope. Hope just wags her tail more and rolls over on her back with her feet in the air.
I honestly think Hope thinks Bonnie loves her as she keeps coming back for more.
But it is kind of hard not to love this face.
Lavender! It's the Real Thing.
Well, I'm back from another fun weekend at Purple Ranch Lavender Farm. As you can see Rolo was in his usual happy mood. When I make trips out to the farm I am always surrounded by dogs and puppies. The only problem with that is that my dog doesn't like any other dog getting my attention. He will tear up something of mine if he sniff's my pantsleg and can smell another dog.
But, anyone who is a dog lover could not resist this face.
Well, Purple Ranch Hands are on the move again. We just returned from a 5 hour trip aboard the Hand Express. Kind of sounds like Gilligan's Island, without the island.
