The Land of Milk and Honey
Cooking with Honey
by Laurie DotsonIT’S Spring! I love this time of year. It starts in February sometime…You know the weather! You open up the door, to what you think is going to be fridged, cold winter air, but you are surprised with a warm 50 degrees that you feel crosses your face. You begin to smell and hear the first signs of spring peeking into your backyard.
My dream Lavender garden:)
Let me repeat that in different words, the on and off of warm days, along with that sweet smell of purple flowers growing in your garden plots. aahhh! Such Sweetness! lol
So, I feel Spring is here, even though, the weather man says we are getting a nor-eastern tonight.
Bring it on! One last hoorah, winter. ONE LAST HOORAH! I mean it!!!!
Spring brings herbs, plants and Lavender!!! I am a fein for lavender! I love the smell, the look, and the feel that this little flower produces. I’m getting ready for spring planting and I need little inspiration! So here is a yummy sweet treat thats a bit on the unordinary but a lotta-bit on the delicious!
