Just a quick note to remind y’all that I’m back in Arkansas and will be at the Hillcrest Farmers Market tomorrow morning at 7:00 with a few goodies. We’ll have a handful of things like fresh eggs, flower bouquets, organic purple hull peas, squash and a few cherry tomatoes. Come see me early cause if we have […]
After hitting the Moscow market on Saturday morning, Danielle and I drove back out to the flower farm for another visit with Jane. This visit was more business though and Jane was kind enough to walk through her flowers answering my questions as I feverishly took notes and Danielle photographed varieties to go with my notes. I’m […]
Danielle and I ran over the farmers market in Moscow, Idaho on Saturday and she wasn’t wrong when she said it was the place to be on a Saturday morning. This market has been running for 35 years and the city closes off one of it’s main streets to hold it on Saturday mornings. As we walked […]
This morning started with another class at Danielle’s dance studio which I have to admit, while I enjoy, is TOTALLY out of my comfort zone. This afternoon though led us to a place that was right up my alley. One of the women that dances at the studio has a flower farm and I’m pretty sure the feeling Danielle […]
What does a gardener like to do on vacation? This one likes to look for other gardeners to visit with. We spent yesterday afternoon doing just that. We started at the home garden of a friend of my sister and the only thing I regret about the visit was not having a better camera along […]
Head cold and all Milan traveled like a champ yesterday. I’m fairly convinced that had we not borrowed my father-in-law’s iPad the day would have turned out much differently but fortunately Blue’s Clues and an Itsby Bitsy Spider app kept him occupied through both flights. Our layover in Denver was just long enough for a […]
This day was all about dancing! On Tuesdays and Thursdays Danielle has a morning and evening class at her dance studio so Mom and I split babysitting duty and I danced in the morning while her and Milan played at the park and Mom danced in the evening while Milan and I played at the park. Milan […]
My mom drove down from Iowa yesterday to make a trip to Washington with Milan and I to visit my sister and her husband. I’m not sure yet which has taken more preparation, leaving the farm for a week or traveling with a two-year-old. At this point I feel pretty good about leaving the farm, […]
A couple of weeks ago I had a sweet potato sprout on the counter so I stuck it in the windowsill to watch it grow. I guess I ought to plant it but it’s doing well enough on it’s own that I’m afraid I’d just mess it up. For now, I think it’s interesting. Milan […]
A few weeks ago we started clipping chicken wings. We do this every fall for that spring’s pullets to keep them in the half acre yard we’ve designated as theirs. Even though the feathers we clip in the fall grow back every year it seems that either the birds just get too heavy to go […]
