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 …
March was a blur, wasn’t it? Between all of us coming down with the flu, which lasted for multiple weeks for each one of us, we also were using every spare second that we weren’t sick or otherwise engaged working on flower farm tasks since spring is the season that’s by far the busiest. Our …

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. However, considering that I thought our last batch of goals would take us nearly 3 years …
After having a slow, (mostly) restful last week of the year, we’re ready to hit the ground running in the new year! We have a ton of stuff that needs to happen this month — largely with the flower farm — which I’m actually pretty excited about because I think that keeping busy will help …
