This is Anthony’s Dad celebrating his birthday while he was serving in Korea. How sweet is his twin sister,
who sent him a cake and a candle? We appreciate and are grateful for our veterans who show unending courage and sacrifice for our freedom. Thank you, and Happy Veterans Day.

Happy 12th Birthday to our sweet girl Gigi! She is our everything; the Supervisor, the first girl boss on our farm and our constant companion. The first day we drove onto the farm, she jumped out of the car and ran and ran until she couldn’t run anymore. It cracked both of our hearts wide open and we KNEW this was the right move, if only for her. This farm has changed her life the most and for the best and I’m glad we were able to give her that gift. Today will be filled with popcorn, car rides and every single birthday treat she asks for.

I’m SO in love with learning new things, and always have been. I love books and magazines and how-to videos and podcasts, but MOST of all I love going to conferences. You cannot put a price on keeping up with current trends, learning how to do things better and - most importantly - connecting with like-minded peeps. I’m in Nashville, gearing up for a gathering of cut flower growers tomorrow and I really couldn’t be more excited. The more I learn, the more I realize I have so much more to learn. And I can’t wait to get back to the farm to put all of this knowledge to good use.

Happy Halloween! The snowiest Halloween any of us here on the farm have EVER experienced! Truly frightening, indeed. Have any of you trick or treated in the snow???

EXCITING NEWS local friends! Anthony is starting an egg run on Thursday’s. He will be delivering our beautiful, farm-fresh eggs right to your door - for only $4 per dozen!! How do you sign up? Let me know in the comments below and we will add you to the list - there are limited spots available. We cannot wait for you to try these eggs. There is truly nothing that compares to a bright yellow, fresh egg. They are my favorite reason to have breakfast for dinner, which, as we all know, is the best kind of dinner there is.

Who doesn’t love a good before-and-after? One of my favorite pastimes when I’m trying to avoid hard things I HAVE to do - like Fall cleanup (ahem) - is to look at the old photo albums the previous owner left with us. Sometimes I even break out the magnifying glass to try and figure out what was where and what it was used for. I’m not sure what year the first photo was taken, but it was sometime between 1942 - when the lower barn was built, and 1967 when the pool was built. The second photo was taken last April, when my brother was visiting. He brought his drone and took the most fantastic photos of our farm. There’s so much inspiration that comes from looking at both of these pictures, and in dreaming up what will be on the next round of “afters”.

Did you know that worker bees have tiny little glands that convert the sugar in honey into wax? And THEN the wax comes out of teeny tiny pores on their tummies. AND THEN they chew that wax until it’s pliable, and add it to the honeycomb they are making. Exhausting and almost unbelievable - these bees truly are incredible. The only consolation in removing all of their hard work is that there is a lot of comb left over for the new bees next spring - and they won’t have to waste much time building out all of this comb. I bet you’ll never look at a beeswax candle the same ever again.

Yesterday was a win for us, as far as days on the farm go. Our barn cat Walter returned after mysteriously vanishing for 23 days. If you have been following us for a while, you know how close we are to all of our animals and we were heartbroken when he vanished. He showed up yesterday morning, just as mysteriously as he left and he is fine, aside from being on the skinny side. Living on a farm is living on an emotional roller coaster, even on a farm as small as ours. I wouldn’t trade this farm life for anything, as it has REALLY taught us to appreciate every. single. day. From weather, to animals dying, to babies being born. From huge honey harvests, chickens laying the most beautiful and delicious eggs, to all of our bees dying and random chickens showing up at our coop doorstep. It’s always a new adventure, whether it be happy or terribly sad. We are truly grateful for whatever lottery we won that has given us the opportunity to live this farm life.
