Purple Haze

We're in a purple haze..... everywhere is purple. We've tried Lavender tea, lavender lemonade, lavender sorbet, lavender honey, and anything that you dare to put on your body with lavender.

One place that we took pictures, the lavender was chest high.

We hit 2 farms this morning while the light was better for pictures but we were quite COOL as we were about 1/2 mile from the Juan de Fuca Strait and the wind coming off the cold water is brisk.

I have found our old Farmall Cub Cadet and it is a beauty! I couldn't resist getting back up in the driver's seat again where I made a lot of money in high school mowing many a lawn. Baxter and I drove this thing all over town and would pull into the Shell station next to my Dad's office to 'fill-er-up' with gas. That was before self service! This tractor was one of about 40 displayed on one farm. Almost everything on it was new or replaced like original. This was a 1947 model. The one we had I believe was a 1954 model. It certainly seemed smaller than I remembered !
