No you aren't losing your mind.....Mandy Puppy was not raised from the dead. This is the official Purple Ranch Tribute to Amanda May II, a.k.a, Mandy Puppy.....a life size ceramic of Mandy that is by her gravesite. It is so life-like that people who have visited the Ranch have actually sat in their cars and watched her to see if it is ok to proceed as they did not realize that she wasn't real. I am very proud that she has a prominent place on the Ranch guarding the lavender and the inhabitants. I want to personally thank all the Purple Ranch Hands that contributed to Mandy's tribute. You will never truly know how much this means to me. Got lavender?Tuesday, May 27, 2008

Purple Ranch Sleeper
Well as a Purple Rancher, your job is never done. Some times, we get so tired, we just fall asleep standing up! Ok, just kidding. Here is Bren modeling our Purple Ranch Lavender Mask.
It is filled with lavender buds and is used in spas and for home therapy. Bren put it on and wham! she was relaxed. Got Lavender?

Purple Ranch Lavender Buds
The fields are all a buzz at Purple Ranch Lavender Farm as the first signs of lavender are starting to bud
out. As the month of May progresses, more and more lavender will show up on the plants and before you know it, the entire field will be purple with color. I just love springtime on Purple Ranch! Got Lavender?

Abe Bigoda or is it Abe Pergola?
For those of you who are under 35, you most likely don't remember the mid-1970s TV show "Barney Miller" that starred Abe Vigoda as "Fish". Fish was a great, fun loving cop that had a dry sense of humor and wit. Some of you may know that Abe Vigoda, the man, is still alive at the age of 87, but few of you know that Abe Bigoda is now living on Purple Ranch Lavender Farm. Here he is..... 
The real name of this structure is a Pergola. This is an outdoor structure, like an arbor, that can be traced back architecturally to 1645 in Italy. It is made of a series of beams and supports, but does not have a complete covered roof to protect from the weather. Instead it has plants, typically vines, that will weave between the wood to create an elaborate array of greenery and flowers. Well Purple Ranch now has its very own Pergola, a.k.a. Abe Bigoda. The reason that I started calling the structure this, is because 1. I have a hard time with the real pronunciation of Pergola (pur-guh-luh), 2. it is a really tall structure so it reminded me of both Abe Vigoda AND Abe Lincoln who were and are very tall men, and 3. it sounded funny and we try to have a good time at Purple Ranch when at all possible. Got Lavender?
