Lavenders green, Diddle, diddle,
- Lavenders blue
You must love me, diddle, diddle,
- cause I love you,
I heard one say, diddle, diddle,
- since I came hither,
That your and I, diddle, diddle,
- must lie together.
On top of that along with the aroma's of pumpkin and vanilla, the smell of Lavender is a powerful aphrodisiac for men. So, all of you women who are seeking to be Aphrodite, get thee some lavender. "Lave" means to "wash" or "lave" in French which is where the flower originated from.
Why am I writing about Lavender? Well, because 1) It's one of my favorite flowers and 2) Over on the wonderful "Domestic Witch" blog, she's having a "Lavender Give a way" which is a basket full of delicious Lavender goodies. Check out what you can win;

Ingredients
- 1 tray ice cubes
- 1/4 cup dried lavender
- 2 cups boiling water
- 3/4 cup white sugar
- 8 lemons
- 5 cups cold water, or as needed
Directions
- Place ice cubes into a 2 quart pitcher. Place the lavender into a bowl, and pour boiling water over it. Allow to steep for about 10 minutes, then strain out the lavender and discard. Mix the sugar into the hot lavender water, then pour into the pitcher with the ice.
- Squeeze the juice from the lemons into the pitcher, getting as much juice as you can. Top off the pitcher with cold water, and stir. Taste, and adjust lemon juice or sugar if desired. Pour into tall glasses, pull up a lawn chair and a good book, and relax!

Yeah, quite a bit of difference in meaning between "diddle" and "dilly" too, ha ha!
I wonder if dilly dally comes from this. When I used to teach aromatherapy I found people either loved or hated the scent. I love it if it's a good quality one.
I like the original version of the song more! ;)
I must try out the lavender lemonade! How did yours turn out, Wendy?
My name is Selma Espinosa I'm a 46 years old mother with 3 adorable kids and I have been married for 17 years now. After the birth of our last daughter 2 years ago, I noticed something about my husband that was completely different. He comes home late every night, sleeps on the couch never in the bedroom with me and doesn't give attention to me or the kids. I remember the night he came home drunk and told me he was no longer attracted to me after I had kids.
I cried myself to sleep that night, I could not believe that the man I have loved all my life will someday stopped loving me. Just few days to our wedding anniversary, he stopped coming home and would not take my calls. I had to talk to a friend and she suggested I contact a spell caster who could help me bring back his love and attention. It was the first time I heard such stuff existed, I give it a try with high expectations. After my contact with the Priest spellcaster, he helped me cast a spell that made my husband return home to me and our kids. I know a lot of people need this to help them stay happy in their marriages. You can contact Priest Obongibok let him help you; write him on email OBONGIBOK@PRIEST.COM or WhatsApp +13612367973.
