Today I celebrated my first mothers day. The last few weeks have been busy with relatives visiting from Canada and lots of work going into preparing items for our shop (more on that later). Today's mothers day activities were the perfect way to relax and recharge. After church my husband, son and I took a drive to our local lavender fields to meet my parents. We had never been before and were pleasantly surprised by how pretty and tranquil it was.
We also visited a farm behind the lavender fields that was owned by a Messianic Christian commune called the "Twelve Tribes" where we sampled their organic produce (featuring a delicious kale/grapefruit juice) and one of the young girls took us to see their new baby goats. The hill behind the lavender field belongs to the commune and provides the community with their own Haas avocados.
The lavender fields had this lovely tea house and gift shop with a porch and lookout point.
We ended the day with a delicious picnic lunch overlooking a small field of lavender. I have been trying to eat dairy free but I couldn't resist this lovely cheese.
