It's been a busy month so far! Despite the lack of rain & high temps, the hay fields are getting mowed & baled. Some fields have gotten reseeding for fall.
The flowers are finally coming into bloom too!
If you would be interested in cutting your own bouquet, please message us for details!
Have a safe & happy holiday weekend!

To any of our neighbors who may have seen this strange bird flying around, we have the answer!
It's actually a Red Tail Hawk! It has a condition called Leucism. It's a genetic condition that causes partial, patchy, or total loss of pigmentation while retaining eye color. Only 1 in 30,000 Red Tail Hawks are born with it!

While our cell phone cameras couldn't catch a clear picture, we knew someone who could! Larry Guilliams was gracious enough to camp out all day & take these amazing photos of this rare beauty and also of her chicks! Thank you Larry for giving us a clear view of this beautiful bird!

My winter sunflower experiment.
Can I have sunflowers for mother's day?
Started about 35 seeds on Feb. 20, in a spare bedroom, under grow lights. Most of them sprouted fairly quickly. That was the easy part!

Potted them up to 3 gallon pots, 7 plants per pot. They were not longer under grow lights & who has room for 5 3gal pots in their house?😅 Plus I started more a week later!

Thankfully, with the mild spring, these babies got to spend most of their days outside and their nights in the basement.

It's safe to say that this experiment worked. I will have sunflowers for mother's day except for the fact that I have to work all of mother's day weekend and can't go out & peddle my sunflowers! That's ok because my family enjoys getting my fresh flower experiments!

Bonus thought..There are sunflower seedlings currently growing in the garden!

Wonder if the calves would let our baby Clyde join in the fun! 🤔They could teach him all about squeezing through the fences and how to find the best spots of grass in the hayfields!😂

It's a boy! The only foal that we were expecting this year has finally arrived! This Clydesdale c**t is out of Valley of the Kings Queen Kiya x Joseph Lake's Sanford!

Some pretty colors are popping up in the garden! Having to cut the short ones now to get longer stems later!
I haven't grown these before & I hope they don't petter out because of the heat! I am drying these for projects later!
