Reflections on Life and Lavender

Chasing Dreams and Letting Go

Well here we are in the beautiful and snowy Willamette Valley south of Portland at the beginning of a new year, renting a house while we begin our search for Little Lavender Farm #2.  We made this move because Mark landed his dream job -- and because it would allow me to follow my dream as well.  Yes, I love my Little Lavender Farm in Escondido, but there was only so much I could do with it.  My dream is to have five or so acres, with a few acres of different varieties of lavender, as well as keep bees, plant a big organic garden, maybe host a few events, and eventually have some guest cottages.  And while I was certainly able to achieve some of this in Escondido, the land was like cement, the water was scarce, and I spent most of my time teaching high school.  So here we are where the land is fertile, there is plenty of water and I’ve got a little more time to chase these dreams.
