Labyrinth

Sorry, Cricket I need to interrupt your birthday announcement  to tell about our visit to the Young Lavender Labyrinth in Mona, Utah on our drive home from St. George, Utah.  I am on a trek to learn more about labyrinths and my sweet husband is a super great sport and is actually enjoying it too, I think :). The St. George bright sunshine had my poor eyes so sore.  I wore sunglasses the whole time but it may just be time to have those cataracts taken care of or the macula edema is back.  (Just so you know, the option is NOT to stay indoors or off the bike. I hope not for steroid injections in my eye - that was a memorable, not in a good way, day - thanks for your support Lacey. ) I have an appointment on Tuesday am. at the Moran Eye Center.   I guess there has been an advantage of all our rainy weather.  Anyway, on to funner items:  the Lavender Labyrinth!   (I enlarged the picture so maybe some of you could read the sign.) 

A labyrinth represents your life journey.  Each person that walks along this path will have a different experience.   You walk in carrying the weight you are feeling, reflecting, and trying not to talk (okay, I had a hard time not saying anything)  and in the center you try to let go of something and walk back out a little lighter.  It can be something simple or something heavy - depending on what your day is like.   

This will be amazing and purple we were told in June/July.  Also, they are having a 5K run down there, too.  If it was a longer run, I'd be tempted.  Its still about two hours from our house. 

There were kids playing all around, a sweet little pond with paddle boats, and super helpful ladies in the gift shop.  We just had to buy some lavender lotion, spray, and lozenges for Steve's throat, because they were so nice!  I thought of you, Natalie , when they told us they had Lavender Honey.
