Say it ain’t so!!! And also...YAHOO! We’ve got a possible frost on the horizon and I’ve got quite the split personality these days. On one hand, I’m SO sad I won’t be surrounded by beautiful flowers each and every day. And on the other hand, I am ready to move on! I’m ready for the cleanup to be done, the bulbs to be planted and the turtlenecks to come out! I am officially surrendering to Fall and all the fantastic-ness of October.

Sooooo nice to be back at home with Gigi the supervisor, asleep on the job, AGAIN. My favorite thing about returning after a long trip is walking around the farm, saying hello to everyone and seeing what’s changed since I’ve been gone. What’s your favorite thing about coming home?

We lost our friend and sweet neighbor Dorothy last week and today is the day we say goodbye to her. These Lily of the Valley were some of her favorite flowers. It’s killing me that I’m not there to celebrate her life and love on her family, but Anthony is, and that is a bit of a consolation to me. She and her sister welcomed us to the neighborhood as soon as we moved in with a giant pointsettia, and we’ve been friends ever since. Her family has always treated us like family - they include us in holidays and family celebrations and are always looking out for us. I can’t believe I won’t ever see her again, especially through the window, sitting at her kitchen table. But I will do my best to honor her sweet memory and be the best kind of neighbor I can be, just as she was to us.

If you live on a farm, chances are you’ve got an old barn door situation like this. Held together with two rusted t-posts, this door is the subject of numerous threats, some kicks and immeasurable f words. When Anthony and I were struggling with it today, I started thinking that this should be part of our future “Farm Experience Tour”. Here’s what’s on the itinerary so far: gather some eggs, step on a cow pie, dig up rocks from the pasture, pull weeds, feed the cows and swear at a broken old door. Washing buckets, trapping raccoons and capturing a swarm of bees are optional add-on excursions. Who’s in? We are open to any other excursion ideas as well. 🤣

“Flowers enshrine my heart between their petals; that’s why my heartbeats love them so much.” - Munia Kahn I could sit and stare at these Dahlias forever, but it’s time to crush some farm chores and lists today! Here’s to hitting the ground running, Happy Monday my friends.

This is our beautiful Loretta. She’s the OG of our farm, named after the one and only Miss Loretta Lynn, and definitely the sweetest member of the family. She’s a grandma, a mother and - we just found out - once again, a mother-to-be. She’s had a rough few weeks with hoof issues, and that makes me want to give her all of the brushing and fresh hay she can handle. Plus she’s the only one who will let me hug and kiss her, so obv she’s my favorite. Who is your favorite in our herd? Bonus points if you even know any of their names. 🤣

Oh, YOU know what time it is. Apple time!! I’ve ripped so many recipes out of magazines to try, that I needed a folder to hold all of them. And to be quite honest, I hardly ever eat apples. But it’s a great excuse to try new cocktails and desserts. And I even think I’m going to try and make my own apple cider vinegar this year. Now you know what I’m going to ask - because I LOVE new ideas - what are your favorite apple things to make and/or eat?

Oh bees. You make everything look so dramatic and beautiful and scary and magical. And sometimes you make it easy on us. Today was one of those times. Who else is ready to (finally) taste this year’s honey?🙋🏼‍♀️
