Happy Tuesday! It appears that Meta services are down. Interestingly enough, I’m okay with it all. I actually wouldn’t mind it if they stayed down. I see a lot of people are upset about it all, but honestly, it’s a free service – it’s not a service that is vital. It’s frustrating that I am …

Greetings on this sunny, already very warm Sunday at 7 a.m. There's an excessive heat warning for us for the next several days - nothing compared to Arizona or California, but us Washingtonian's are not used to 90 degree heat - unless of course you are talking about the middle of August, then yes, it's …

This was written this last weekend…so forgive the lag!! Greetings and Happy Father’s Day to those celebrating with family, or missing their own father’s. If dad were still here I’m sure we would be gathering around for some ribs on the BBQ. I’m also sure that he’s enjoying being with him mom, dad and his …

Greetings, I hope all is well with you. I'm not sure that I've gone into detail about my perennial garden. We have a bit of space near the milk house, there's a concrete apron that comes off of it and just beyond that there's a bit of ground, not much, but enough to stick a …

This journey is not just about growing flowers & food, but it's also about growing a business. Don't get me wrong, I'm not going to quit my day job. I have a full time job that keeps me plenty busy, but I am lucky to be able to take time off from that job during …
My seeds arrived from Floret Flower farms yesterday! So exciting!! Pictures below! Her packaging is so pretty & professional, they add such a nice professional touch to an already amazing business!! I’ve unboxed them, sorted them, wrote them down in my planner, and tucked them away to rest until it’s time to start planting in …
I got hooked on dahlias a few years ago. I then tried glads, goodness those were fun too! Things changed a bit then changed again, I’m hoping my life is done changing for a while, now I’m living on 40 acres in Everson/Sumas, where the ice storm we had last winter took a good deal …
