Lavender Days

My friend beautiful and talented friend Heather made the brilliant suggestion to go to the Lavender Festival at the Young Living farm in Mona, Utah. Having never been to such a festival and trying to take advantage of my last little while in Utah, I of course jumped at the chance. Due to the unfortunate choices of a ridiculous male, we were determined to use the healing powers of lavender to heal the heart. And oh, what a wonderous day it was! Here are some pictures of what we did! And may I just say, Heather is a wonderful, positive, kind person and a delight to spend the day with. And Lavender ice cream is Delicious.

A bank heist! With a gun! Oh no, what will occur?

The law wins again. :(

Some wild west girls... armed and dangerous.

Picking lavenders to make some delicious tea.

So how many of you have attended a mideval joust? Not exactly what we expected at a lavender festival, but here we are anyway, enjoying some jousting and, of course, some turkey leg.

A trip to Mona wouldn't be complete without a trip to the pond. So many good, summer memories here, such as rope swinging and skinny dipping. The water was perfect and the pond was sooo beautiful.

Railroad tracks and a beautiful sunset, with crazy girls wandering along.

And that was our wonderful, healing day. We also ate lavender ice cream and learned about distilling lavender oil, rode through a field of lavender and watched kids play. And had beautiful conversations, the like that good friends can have that make the world a little bit better.
