| Here's to May! |
 |
| His mantra is "mulch, mulch, mulch...more mulch..." |
Yesterday was May 6 and the 143rd Kentucky Derby was on and, it seemed like a good excuse to take a break from the mulching and the weeding in the rain and have a good stiff drink, even if it was for just two really exciting minutes. So, what should you drink when the horses are "running for the roses?" Why, Mint Juleps, of course! A little bit of whiskey, a lot of crushed ice, a good amount of sugar and a long, cool sprig of "Kentucky Colonel" mint makes a hardy
pick-me-up while we sat down to cheer on the horses.

| Cold and frosty. |
Anywhoo, I realize that we are first and foremost a lavender farm, while we sipped on our mint-inspired drinks,
but when you think about it, mint is a member of the same plant family as lavender (
Lamiaceae, which basically means square-stemmed flowering plants) and we
kind've "took care of that bottle of whiskey--however, it
was almost empty, anyway and we
will recycle the bottle. So, hey--it's all good!
