day thirty two: august 23, 2009.

lavender grows like a weed here. i am convinced that is why the people of seattle are so chilled out; with the pleasant aroma of lavender drifting on the breeze, how can you feel stressed out?

i'm half joking. but i seriously love walking past a giant bunch and breathing in heavily, letting the herb-y scent fill my lungs. it's so lovely.

i sometimes grab a few stalks and sniff at them periodically the whole way home. xo.
