Lavender In the Air

Once again, we woke up at 11:00PM today. I got ready and went downstairs. A few hours later, some friends of Malena came to have lunch with their 2 kids that are around Julia's and Chloe's age. We had lunch, cheese, dessert, and then talked a little. After lunch, we all went swimming. It was lots of fun. 

Then, everybody left so Malena, Chloe, Julia, Sean, and I all left to walk around the village a little. We went to the little toy shop that I remembered when I was very little. I can't believe how much I still love that little toy shop. It's just so fantastic. After the toy shop, we got into the car and left for a little road trip around random little villages around 4:30PM. We took many picture which will be posted later. We stopped in this one little village that had red clay. It was very interesting. After looking around, we had some ice cream. We then left and continued on our road trip. We happened to see lavender fields so we stopped by, picked some since they're were abandoned, and took pictures. It was lots of fun. We continued and got sort of lost on the road in this valley. It was nice, but extremely long! We finally got back to Lourmarin around 8:30PM. 

Malena dropped me and Sean off in front of this little pizza restaurant to get pizza but they had too many people at the restaurant so we couldn't order any takeout. What stunk even more was that we had tried to order from this other pizza shop but their pizza oven was broken. So for dinner we ended up having frozen pizza and pasta. Now the girls are in bed and I'm about to crash as well.

Awesome on the lavender. Not so awesome on the pizza.

We have a couple of bushes that I just planted in the garden. They seem to be doing well, but we are still waiting for their beautiful flowers.

How sweet would it be to be a lavender farmer?
