Recently on vacation, I had two whole days to MYSELF. No husband, no kids, no house, no chores, no computer. What's a girl to do? I picked up the local paper and read an article about Lavender Wind Farm in Coupeville. In previous years, Whidbey Island had been our home-- one year in Coupeville and three years in Clinton. I had no idea that lavender was grown on Whidbey or that there was a local farm. I have to admit that I have a slight obsession with visiting lavender farms. Last year, we enjoyed traipsing through the fields in Sequim. I was so excited to learn about this local Whidbey farm and eager to pay it a visit. I really can't think of a single thing as relaxing as walking through fields of lavender. The sight is so beautiful and the smell is so incredibly relaxing. This farm was above and beyond those things--- it has a view of the Strait of Juan de Fuca. I can't think of a happier place to be. I spent several hours meandering the grounds of the farm, camera in hand, senses on alert but in a very serene way. What's almost as good as the lavender plants themselves? The products made from the lavender! I spent another good bit of time browsing the items for sale in the store and selecting my favorites to take home. I can't wait to go back again!
