Before the farm.....
We once had a quant home on the banks of beautiful river with a view that took your breath away✨ It surely didn't look like this when we bought it, it had been neglected for years. We fell in love with the view, sound of rippling water and the birds in the trees. We loving restoted it thinking it could be our forever home lightweight, allowing us freedom to adventure, but super cozy like being wrapped in a warm blanket. Over️ 25yrs we've renovated 4 homes and built 5 others. But this one is the one I miss....this one was so hard. So many memories wrapped in that view that brought me so much comfort....
In 2019 life changed drastically and the seed of building a lavender farm was planted💜 It required us to let go of so many things....including the home we just finished renovating, the home that felt like "Home" after moving so many times all those years. I remember feeling like Whoopie Goldburg in the movie Ghost when Patrick Swazey kept telling her to let go.
But we did.... Letting go of that home was very much symbolic of letting go in other areas of our life. God often times requires you to let go of things so He can bring about something new, especially when it's something bigger than something we could dreamed of✨️
It's been a wild hard ride to get here for sure! But 6yrs later, our farm now feels like home, especially with the kitchen complete. Our view isn't the same but it's drop dead gorgeous️💜
Lavender represents so many things and to be surrounded by it feels comforting. It represents peace, love tranquility, commitment, and healing Lavender is truly a nurturing beautiful herb 🌿
