(っ◔◡◔)っ ♥ Community ♥

What do pictures of vegetables and a rubberband ball have to do with community?

Good ❓ thanks so much for asking❗️

Today, I got to take in a tub of zucchini, bunches of purple basil and cherry plums (gifted to me from my neighbor’s tree) to share with the Unitarian Universalist Church of Davis community. People were so excited! I left with empty hands and a full heart.

Each of these simple items stands on a pile of community connections and efforts. I’m not even sure I could name every step, layer or player along the way.

I’ve had friends who’ve-
Encouraged me to learn farming
Paid for my schooling
Provided advice and mentorship
Volunteered to w**d
Bought my flowers
Given me their prized rubberband ball
Listened when I needed to cry
Donated start up money
Gifted me plant starts
Help me with what I’m doing wrong
Cheered me on and told me to keep going
Gifted me needed items
And heaps more…

I can’t do this alone, and I’m so grateful that I don’t have to!!

I’ve had great success at offloading the task of naming arrangements to you all. So, join in and play today’s “Name that bouquet”

This is going to the front desk woman at my son’s school. Every time I walk in with flowers, she hopes they are for her. They never are. Last time, she said, “Maybe I’ll get lucky and it will be my turn next time.”

Today, it’s her turn 🙂 and I like it so much I want to put it on the website.

Whatcha got? 🤓

Day…who knows? After about 3.5 months of starting seeds in the greenhouse not knowing if I could get anything to grow, I harvested my first bucket of flowers from my field!
Am I tickled pink? Yes. Yes, I am

Guess what guys? I have things growing!! Things I have managed to get in the ground and not kill so far are-snapdragons, Lisianthus, zinnias, purple basil, tomatoes, amaranth, zucchinis, celosia and asters. 🥕🥕🥕 are definitely on the struggle bus. I’m not going to lie, I’m proud of myself and all the work I’ve put in

Bouquet subscribers, check your email! Now that Mother’s Day is behind me, I’m ready to serve you.

This first bouquet will be a designer/farmer’s choice. Everything won’t be grown by me, but everything will be grown in Yolo County!

Sad you didn’t buy a package? That’s ok! Procrastinators and imperfect people are welcome here! Order from the 🔗 in the comments section

Life is such a mixed bag of emotions. I made a lot of beautiful flowers this week and really enjoyed getting to design so much. Lately, there are so many other tasks and responsibilities, designing kind of fits in the cracks and crevices of the day. But this week found me in my zone and I needed the reminder of how that feels. 🤩

Along with the ups come the downs. Yesterday, we lost one of our 3 dogs suddenly and it hit us all pretty hard. I am grateful to get to work from home on my own time so that I could stop and take time to be with the family and share stories of WooWoo (Charlotte).

I’m ready to slow down for the rest of the day 🐢
