Image for A Purple Postcard from France

Dear Mom and Dad,

I am in France! We are visiting a very pretty place.

It is called the Valensole Plateau. Everything here is bright purple.

There are giant fields of lavender flowers. They go on as far as I can see.

The air smells so sweet and clean. It smells just like soap!

I can hear the happy bees buzzing. They love the purple flowers too.

We walked down the long rows. The dirt is warm under my shoes.

I took a picture of a big butterfly. Its wings were orange and black.

I bought a small bag of dried flowers. It will make my room smell nice at home.

I miss you both so much! I cannot wait to show you my pictures.

Love, Leo
