| One of my favs! The terracotta pots made the trip to their new home. Not much different than the last, with the vintage picket fencing. |

Thank you Lidy for your sweet encouragement to blog. I have a long ways to go and much, much to catch up on. : ) in the blogging sphere. Its been far too long but so many things have been accomplished as I have been quiet in my own little world. The transition here to the new farm has been fairy seamless, filled with God's Grace and Provision. I am surrounded by friends and family who have and are continuously being supportive and very helpful.
Its only been just past a year here, my 2nd cutting garden : ) which expanded a great deal this spring with help of another local woman farmer, Wez, tilling up new soil. The high tunnel is going up and will be in production by September. Working on the tedious tasks of it now, literally the nuts and bolts of it.
Its exciting to be a part of the slow flower movement but...Talk About SLOW flowers! This years weather has been one challenge after another. Blooms seem to be about a month behind.
I've posted pictures on my face book page and many more to come... I'll share a couple here. Hope everyone is staying cool! Shop hours are Friday, Saturday (10-4) and Sunday (2-4)U Pick available with the colorful Yarrow. Zinnias are very short due to weather conditions but are blooming.... More flowers to come!
Flower orders are welcome just give me a call and plenty of lead way for gathering and arranging. There are still a couple wedding dates available through October. Teemie direct -810-310-0711

ok well there's a glitch in my system. I'll be back with pictures tomorrow... Later Teemie

I'm here :)
Here I am this little flower farmer.... learning tons, weeding, designing and now blogging. Oh the learning curve of it all.
New Latin botanical names that tie my tongue in a knot. How to post pics by phone (hmmmm still seeking help with that) finding the right mulch, weeding methods in this wet season. Although I am not complaining as the water tables are said to being restored after the drought. Record keeping! yep not a strong suit for me but I am determined to make easy to use methods that will help grow this flower farm into a place of supplying beauty for all our romantic needs.
I'm walk in constant amazement of how much encouragement comes to me by way of kinds words, physical help from friends old and new, the lending of tools, offerings of plants to build this 2.5 acres into a flourishing farm. I stand in awe of the plan that is far more than just little ole me. As help is arranged from above at a moments notice. I am humbled by the process I see before me. Some scratch there heads and say what are you doing? Some shake their heads in disbelief of how it comes together. And many ask questions as to how? Why?
Right now all I know for sure is that this is a plan that has been placed on my heart long ago. to grow beauty, to design for others. to share all that it is, with you.
Open today 1- 5, tomorrow 9-5, Sunday 1:30-4

Hoe in Hand....
This is yet another year of transformation on my new flower and herb farm. I am embracing this leg of the journey with seed & hoe in hand, dirt under my nails, sewing needle and fabric, learning new systems and am prepared to take on any force (not in my own strength) that may choose to come against me and my appointed work....boldly and with confidence that this is my life purpose to bring beauty and rest to many spirits seeking peace in this mad, mad world. Just saying.... <3 p="">
