Yes, we're back! First, let me just tell you that we had the most wonderful time with family and friends, along with seeing and doing new things...below is one of the first new things that we experienced on the very first day of our trip. After turning onto this dirt drive, we wondered if we were on the right road, and just when both Cliff and I voiced it out loud a sign popped up saying "1/2 mile"...assuming that was our destination...
We couldn't have been more pleasantly surprised than to drive over a knoll to find the lovely lavender fields nestled below the north side of Mount Shasta (farm located east of, and between Weed and Yreka, CA). We were greeted with not only the fragrance of lavender, but also with a glass of lavender lemonade, topped off with a lavender sprig! It was just like a painting!!
The Mt. Shasta Lavender Fields Farm has a lovely gift shop housed with the most fragrant of lavender products, and the most congenial people. Baskets and scissors are provided if you choose to cut your own sprigs (100 per bundle...$3.50).
We never got tired of looking at the gorgeous purple flowers and the beauty of Mt. Shasta as the back drop...
Cliff is not one to stay put for long...he explores the field beyond the hill top.
Grant was pretty impressed as well!!
Believe you me, if there is ever another time we pass this way again during lavender season, we will surely make this a destination. The hour was much much too short.
Please stay tuned for future vacation posts!
