Peace, Love and Lavender

Peace Valley Lavender Farm is located outside of Philadelphia in Doylestown. My forever friend Laura took me there. She was supportive of me when I was having a hard time after high school. I was regreting not going to college. And, she made an appointment with the dean of Bloomsburg University, and a few months later I was a student there. She was a special ed major along with her now husband. They took me in for two weekends last year. She is in her fourth year battling brain cancer. He is taking the best care of her. And, some of my best laughs came last year talking about the good ol' years. She took me to her favorite spot. Peter's Valley includes a lake, she and her husband would park, just to look down at the beautiful scene. The lavender farm was nearby. I love the peacefullness and scent of the lavender farms. I also love the power and stregnth a little time there can give me. There is something about being very close to bees and not being afraid. I would hear the hum of the bees, and think about not getting too close. But, in the end I would know, they are just so happy in the lavender plants, they are not going to bother with me.
