Lenz 🦥 - Lavender Scent

A bundle of dried lavender hung upside down from a brass hook by the pantry door. I took my time shuffling across the pine floorboards to reach it. When I stopped beneath the stems, a faint, herbal scent drifted down. Reaching up slowly with both paws, I brushed the papery purple tips. Two tiny dried buds broke loose, floating down through the sunbeam before settling softly on the toe of my foot. I lowered my arms and leaned my back against the door frame, content to rest right there in the quiet.
