Lavender Farm

Last week, we enjoyed outdoor adventures in Northern California with Sean's parents.  They have been traveling across country in their beautiful new RV (an eco-friendly, green machine by EverGreen), so we couldn't wait to rendezvous in the foothills of Mt. Shasta. 

One of the many highlights of our camping adventure was the Mt. Shasta Lavender Farm.  It opened to the public on June 12th, and although the lavender blooms were not at their peak of prime loveliness, the beauty of this seasonal destination was magnificent.  Truly, a gorgeous thumbprint of Mother Nature's glory!

  8. There is nothing sweeter or prettier that a lavender farm in bloom. We visited one in the south of France that a small group of monks maintained....it is one of the most beautiful sites I have ever seen, and I will remember it forever!

  10. Oh, heaven! Lavender is catnip to me. When we were in Patagonia, there were acres of it like this. Wonderful.

  11. Like catnip - that's a good one. I bet it smelled so good and did Gaia love running through those fields? Can't wait to hear more about your adventure up north.

  28. Plan A: do what I'm doing. If that doesn't work out, there's plan B: have a lavender farm, keep bees and goats and make honey and soap.

    Amazing. And who knew about those green RVs? Wish our little Scamp had some of those features!
