Bees N Blooms Farm in Santa Rosa, California, is exactly what one would expect from the name—an 11-acre organic farm with a variety of flowers, honey and wax from ten colonies of honey bees, and pollinator-friendly plants and trees.

The site also has a lavender labyrinth, which contains more than 900 lavender plants and offers a half-mile of lavender-scented pathway for quiet contemplation and perambulation.

The site has a Lavender Bloom Status tracker, so you can see which of the varieties will be in bloom when you visit.

Due to the pandemic, they are currently open only on Fridays and Sundays, with limited hours. They are observing social distancing and other pandemic protocols, so if you are planning to visit in person, do contact them ahead of time to make sure the hours haven’t changed.

Even if you aren’t in the area to visit, you can still enjoy the photos on their website, and order honey, lavender products, and other goodies from their web store.

This lovely gif was a Tumblr find. You have to click through to see the movement, but then you can bookmark it.

I was searching for a folding screen to use as a background for online meetings (not for my day job!), and came across this wonderful piece:

It’s much more interesting than your standard shoji screen!

While I appreciate the importance of the RWS deck, it’s not my primary deck, so I decided on this one:

I couldn’t resist the idea of having “The Starry Night” as a background.

Although I almost went with this one:

but it’s not quite wide enough to cover the area.

The site has lots of interesting art prints and trompe l’oeil pieces, some beautifully carved wooden panels, as well as basic shoji screens.
