Lavender Fields

lavender fields


The weekend of July 21 we hopped on a bus with the bicycles which took us a couple of hours North. After checking into a local Inn, we rode the bicycles about 5 miles further north to a lavender farm.



The day was pleasantly warm and the views of the farms, fields and ocean were spectacular.


In the late afternoon, we took a walk around the town and I bought some wonderful anise incense.

The kayakers and wildlife were out and about too.


Later in the evening, we sat on our room's balcony with some wine, cheese, a baguette and a view of the water.



On Tuesday after checking out of the Inn and having lunch in town, we rode the 25 miles home. It was a humid and hot day, so lots of breaks along the way in the shade. Arriving home, I felt tired and satisfied at the accomplishment.

Blue-eyed Siamese Cat flies to Japan

Today was filled with my art and time with Sputnik. She was bathing herself which gave me the chance to catch a photo of her. I actually adopted Sputnik as a kitten in 1998 when I was living in Mexico. She made the long trip with me to Japan on July 25, 2004. It took me about 6 months to plan the logistics of bringing her from Mexico to Japan. Since I had to fly via the U.S. on Mexicana Airlines and Korean Airlines, that meant 4 countries and two airlines would need to approve her transport. There were many details to keep track of for each country and airline. After 6 months of stressful planning, 16 hours of two airline flights and layovers, She made it to Japan safely! Korean Air allowed her to fly with me as my carry-on luggage, which was a relief for me. No worrying about whether she was scared or left at the Los Angeles airport!
