Time flies when you’re racing against the sun to get everything planted out! We weren’t able to start planting out the warm-weather crops of the flower farm until the very, very end of the month since we had several late frosts right in a row. Once the 10-day forecast showed we were the in the …
April was a whirlwind of activity, but we got a LOT done. April is when our flower farming season officially opens to the public, so I was harvesting and selling bouquets by the last third or so of the month. When harvesting starts to collide with all the usual spring craziness of planting and prepping …
When setting these goals back in early January, I definitely was going with a “go big or go home” kind of a theme. The reasoning behind it was that the financial goals I’d set for my second 101 in 1001 list, which I had considered real “stretch” goals, have now all been completed except for …

Note: I just wanted to say a warm thank you to the outpouring of love, prayers, and support you have showed us since my last post. Going through a loss is never easy, but we are so grateful to have so many good people in our lives. Oof. Even though I struggle with January every …
In case you’re new around here, I’m currently working on my second 101 in 1001 list, which is a list of 101 goals or things I hope to complete/do in 1,001 days (which translates to about 2.75 years). This format for goal-setting has been highly motivating for me because it combines the power of a …
Confession: I don’t even really think it’s remotely possible for us to complete all of these this year, unless Matt gets a large raise at work and we actually make a decent profit this second year of flower farming.
