Lavender By The Bay

Lavender is one of my favorite herbs.

So when my mother in law asked if we(the boys & I) wanted to go

to the Lavender Farm.

I said"YES!"

Not sure the boys were too into it, but I did a little bribing:).

The farm is Lavender By The Bay

 in East Marion, NY, it is on the North Fork of Long Island.

It is quiet & peaceful and bursting with history & charm.

There is a slower pace here, lined with farms & vineyards,

you feel like you have been transported to a different time, a simpler time.

The North Fork is truly a hidden gem.

I feel so lucky to spend a good deal of time here

&

blessed that my boys get to experience a little bit of the "country."

The fragrance is intoxicating,

the minute you drive into the parking lot

the lovely scent of lavender fills the air.

If you spend $8 you get to walk the fields.

The shop was packed with people longing to capture the fragrance

&

bring it home with them.

I had to hold myself back from buying more than I did.

 

Shane & Jack had fun,

watching the bees mostly:).

If you are ever in the area, it is a definite must visit.

The aromas alone will make you insanely happy.

The sweet smells of lavender now fill my home,

I am not sure any of the "men" in my house care too much:)

but I am glad I could capture a little piece of this day.

On a side note,
I was featured on Miss Mustard Seed.
Head of over & check it out:)
