It is officially fall around here, both shown by the calendar AND by what you can see outside — we woke up to a layer of frost on the flower farm this morning, and the huge trees in our front yard are turning gold. The chickens’ egg production seems to be slightly tapering down, and …
I said in last month’s goals round-up that August would be the month where we were drowning in flowers, and . . . I was right. I put in crazy hours this last month harvesting, prepping bouquets, and then marketing those bouquets (or directly selling them at the local flower’s market), and I can definitely …
Well, here we are in August already — my oldest starts first grade in two weeks (seriously?!), everyone’s trying to cram all the last-minute summer parties and fun in, and we are positively swimming in flowers from our cut flower farm here at the house.
