Lavender Scones

Lavender Scones

Lavender Scones @createdbydiane

Oh my goodness the temperature this morning was 65.

I threw on a sweatshirt, knowing the cooler temperatures wouldn’t last long. They may not even last until noon.

Nothing like heating up the oven and making a pot of tea to enjoy with some wonderfully delicious scones.

Don’t get me wrong I love the hot sunny days, but WOW have we had our fair share of sun lately. Temperatures over 100 for days and the air conditioning hasn’t stopped running for a month.

So this was a much-needed break.

But as I’m typing I see the sun is trying to peek through the slightly hazy sky.

I better go and enjoy the “chilly” weather while I can.

This week flew by fast and I have some recipes to photograph that I made last night. I hope you enjoy your weekend and maybe even have time to make some of these scones and sit and enjoy for a few minutes.

I have lots of projects on my to-do list and hopefully, by the end of the weekend, I can cross some off the list!

I LOVE crossing things off my list, not sure I’ll ever have a desk clear of post-it notes and lists.

How about you, are you still using paper and pen, or have you fully converted to the TECH side and have everything on some “DEVICE”?

Don’t get me wrong I love all the techi-ness I have many lists there too! I just can’t seem to collect all my lists and such in one place yet.

Do you have a favorite APP I should know about to help keep you organized? I’d love to know. I’ve downloaded a few, but not one if a perfect fit yet.

So if you have one, be sure to tell me. Who knows maybe my “get my lists organized” will be crossed off my to do list by the end of the weekend if you give me a good suggestion.

Lavender icing on Lavender Scones @createdbydiane

These are not too overly perfume-y…not like soap, I added a bit of lemon to them and they are just wonderful delicious…. and to be enjoyed anytime, if you’re like me you can barely wait until the kettle boils for tea and have devoured at least three of them. But, I did save some to share!

    My Hubs swears by evernote but I still can’t stop with my post-it lists. Maybe someday……These scones are so cute! I wish there was some waiting for me when I get home from my trip tomorrow!

      I have the evernote app, but really I think I need a guide for evernote dummies, I still can’t quite get a handle on it 🙂 so for now I have post-its stuck EVERYWHERE!

      I just read that evernote is starting a new deal with post its. You can use regular post its, take a picture and evernote will file them based on color- maybe a way to blend the real and virtual worlds…

    these look great, can’t wait to try them. I can get the lavender, but where do I find lavender extract?

    I’m still a list crosser, I like the feeling of seeing a check mark next to a completed item but I’m doing more of that with apps these days.

    I have looked and looked and looked but I can’t find anything mentioning how many scones this makes. Did I miss it? Often recipes make about 6 or 8. Is that what this recipe yields?

      It will depend on how thick you roll them and what size you cut them. You’ll get a dozen large or 2 dozen smaller scones is the best estimate.
