The farm trees are up and (finally) decorated. While we were shopping for our dream farm, we ran into a LOT of roadblocks. When we put an offer on what we thought was “the one”, the deal fell through and we were broken-hearted - this was after two years of searching. After this happened, I bought these cute little farm themed trees to inspire me whenever I looked at them. The dream was still alive!
I once read if you are pursuing a dream, you should tell everyone you know about it. You should buy things that you would have if that dream came true. You should live as if that dream has come true. And that’s what I did. . . . I bought pajamas that had chickens on them. 🐥 I read every single book about hobby farming that I could get my hands on. 📚 I told anyone who would listen how much I loved Wisconsin and that I was going to buy a farm there someday. 🐄 I bought three little trees and decorated them with every stereotypical farm-related ornament I could find. I topped them off with Fisher Price Silos. 👩🏼‍🌾 2 years later we moved to our dream farm in Wisconsin. And that’s what I think about every time I look at these trees.

Did you know that chickens can run up to 9 miles per hour? You would, if you’ve ever tried to chase one back into the yard. I always feel like Rocky Balboa when I’m out there trying to pick one up. Maybe I can turn this into a new farm experience - Chicken Chasing Cardio.

Every year I say “I’m probably not going to put any holiday decor up this year.” Whomever I say this to rolls their eyes and tells me they’ll believe it when they see it. Then I think, “hmm, maybe just a few things...” and THEN I break down and put it all up and think “who am I kidding, I LOVE Christmas decorations!!!” I am annoyingly predictable and so today is decorating day. Truthfully, I think I just want twinkling lights in every room in the house. Does anyone else go through this every year?

All of Gigi’s dreams have come true - we have a house full of people who can love on her, sneak food to her and cater to her every whim. Whatever you are doing today, I hope all of your pre-Thanksgiving dreams are coming true too.

Happy Fibonacci Sequence Day! OK, so this might be a stretch, and I’m usually not a fan of Happy (fill in the blank) Day, but I guess I really just like to pick and choose which ones to celebrate. And this one I’m here for. 🌻
Simply put, the Fibonacci Sequence is a mathematical formula where each number in the sequence is the sum of the previous two - 1,2,3,5,8,13,21. And on and on and on. 🌻
This sequence is EVERYWHERE in nature - shells, bees, DNA, hurricanes. But I’m specifically enthralled with how it applies to flowers. 🌻
Irises have 3 petals.
Columbine have 5.
Black-eyed Susan have 21.
Think of Dahlias, Zinnias and ESPECIALLY these lovely Sunflowers. Those aren’t just cool looking centers - that spiral is designed for efficiency! You can count each and every piece inside and come up with a number in the sequence. So. Freakin. Miraculous. 🌻 This post is brought to you by flower nerds of the world. Enjoy your Saturday and seek out the Fibonacci around you. #themoreyouknow💫

Dolly is the toughest and sometimes scariest girl in our herd. That is, until she picks her nose with her own tongue. Thank goodness people can’t do this, am I right?

I am thrilled that I was able to get all of these little tulip babies in the ground right before the weather turned. Flower farming has really changed the way I live my day to day life. I check the weather ALL of the time. I tally up rainfall totals. I order spring bulbs in June, for planting in October and selling the following May, which has helped me to learn to plan ahead. I count, measure and calculate like I never have before. AND if my nails are painted, it’s partially to make me feel like I’ve got my act together but really works to hide the dirt underneath that never comes off. 🤣

Now that we’ve been in a heated house for a month, I’m ready to take a bath in honey, Cleopatra style. I don’t actually have a bathtub that can fit a human larger than a 5 year old, so I won’t be trying it anytime soon, BUT - I am so curious about it. Maybe I’ll start small with a facial mask and go from there. Fellow honey lovers, how do you use it, in a cosmetic way? . . 📸 courtesy of @sonyakammes
