recently I saw something on Instagram which reminded me of our wonderful visit to Ali’i Kula Lavender on Maui…

it was a beautiful place, with nice lavender fields, but also amazing gardens filled with stunning flowers…

I found a few photos from that day…

this hand towel usually hangs in the bathroom as a lovely reminder of that wonderful day and trip…

so nice when something comes along and reminds you of special moments…

had a bit of a giggle the other day… I was folding towels and facecloths from the dryer…

I looked at this one and thought oh no my favourite towel lost its colour and is more mauve now… and that was okay, purple and all, but odd…

when I picked it up from the other items, I thought that it also shrank…

at that point I realized it was actually a hand towel that came from the lavender farm in Maui… and it did have mauve stripes…

here is a photo of my favourite towel… not sure why it is the favourite as I have other, purple ones, but this is definitely the most used…

and now I am going out to the hot tub with that very towel…

jacaranda…

I’ve been looking back at photos from our trip to Maui two years ago… enjoying it a lot…

lovely to have reminders of that special time…

on this day, we visited a lavender farm where we walked through a garden filled wth beautiful flowers, many of which we couldn’t name…

we spent time at Maui Chocolate Coffee tours where we chatted with the farm owners, got to see cacao growing on trees, and tasted a chocolate drink…

and we saw jacaranda trees in bloom… they are purple;-)…

Maui, day five…

today we went to Ali’i Kula Lavender… we thought it was just a lavender field but it turned out to have a whole lot of flowering plants and trees as well…

had a lovely wander around and took a few photos, lol…

from there we headed over to Maui Chocolate and Coffee Tours at Kupa’a Farms where we had a wonderful visit with Ann and Janet and Gerry… we talked about jewellery and Instagram and then we got to see cacao trees… somebody was very happy…

we saw all kinds of other trees and learned how chocolate is made, followed by a great chocolate tasting…

what a glorious afternoon…
