today a friend and i hopped on a ferry and headed west for the sequim lavender festival. it wasn't the sunniest day and there was some hesitation on her end to go out in the rain. but i was gungho and rain or shine i was gonna get me some lavender.
the weather turned out to be not so crappy and we totally enjoyed ourselves. i think lavender tends to have that kind of effect on people. it's calming and relaxing and just plain peaceful. i got all kinds of lavender goodies for family and friends and of course myself! i'm definitely looking forward to a wonderful bath using the salts i got that smell diving. lavender is like a magical plant. it just makes things all better. and when the day you faced is hard to bare or shake off, a lavender retreat helps to melt it all away.
it was a great way to spend my day. i've grown rather fond of my friend and will truly miss her when she moves for grad school. she sharpens me and challenges me but then she helps balance me as well. i hope i provide that same balance for her. we've already worked out a trip. we are attending balticon together next year. and we're cosplaying! oh i'm going to miss her! but i'm thankful for the times we do have. gonna make it fun, productive and relaxing. can you say all that in the same sentence? who cares. it's what we're doing and that's that!
