Many thanks to all of you RB member who have liked this image and have let me know in so many ways. I am honored! :~) I so appreciate all of your kind comments and have done my very best to respond to each and every one of you… but there came a time when it was clear that my image was taking such a long time to load, so now I have been in the process of removing my comments and responses to yours, but leaving yours intact. So far, I am not even half way through yet, I can see a difference in the loading time. Again, many thanks for your appreciation, your purchases and your lovely comments.

Come and sit a while among the Lavender plants at Purple Haze Lavender Farm. It is peaceful and tranquil with a delightful scent that fills the air. This is Sequim, Washington when people come for the Lavender Festival in the middle of July. I visited a few days before the crowds… how lovely it was. So peaceful and pristine…
