More Vacation--Purple Haze in Sequim

When we first pulled in the back of that truck was full of lavender. That guy is FAST. Purple Haze is our first stop for lavender. The first farm we ever visited while in Dungeness, the first place where we fell in love with all things lavender. Apparently we are not alone.
Washington State has experienced one of the coldest, wettest spring and early summers that I can remember. Sequim is in the "Rain Shadow" of western Washington, meaning that they do not get much rain. Even so, this year it was gloomy and cold. The fields are still stunning but usually I catch the scent of Lavender well before I can see the fields. Not so this year. I did not notice the scent until I went into the gift shop.
Purple Haze gardens. Below is Jason, just back from saying hello to the Peacocks.

  5. I don't want to scare Jason, but if you darken his hair, add glasses and logging clothes, than you have the man I fell in love with. Jason isn't as serious as Ray so he grins more often.
