The Farmer's Daughter

The wood that comes from this eucalyptus is really interesting! The older wood is less green, but the stripes are still present.

Last year I used the wood to make frames and ornaments.

Found this little guy having a difficult time waking up this morning. At one point, one leg was up in the air as if to say, "Just 5 more minutes." 🤣
I definitely gave a tiny high 5 to this little friend.

In catching up on harvesting this past week, I found this awesome spiral! Just a small reminder about the grand design--the tiny but intricate details that reminds me that Someone has a plan.

Grateful to be back home after a few days away with the family!

I'll be spending the next few days catching up on harvesting and drying and starting the next round of seeds.

Then daughter and I will start on a new set of projects that I'm so excited to share with you!

A few new add-ons in the booth at Block City today.

Remember, all the flowers and greenery used in my products are grown in my flower yard. To see them go from seed to seedlings to blooming and then becoming a part of a story is such an honor and a privelege.

How I feel after weeding flower rows...
Oh, my back!

So many weeds, so little time.

Here's a reminder (for me, at least) to not rush cutting the zinnias...

Lisianthus!!

I had a few of last year's Black Pearl Lisis that survived our winter, and I've been eagerly waiting for them to bloom. After a few days of skipping checking the backyard flowers, I was so pleased to see these this morning. So in love 😍

The Dara I didn't plant...
Sometimes beautiful things happen when we let go.
