December 26th - day after Christmas - are you still celebrating with friends and family or is it a work day for you?? Well for me it's time to put away decorations and move forward. But for Mike, bless his heart, he has to recover from a severe case of shingles - he broke out on Christmas Eve . We'd planned a trip to the beach with our family, but those plans were suddenly changed when he broke out. But God willing there will be other times in the future when things are better. Sitting here typing this I realize I'm only one month away from working on my bedding plants for spring sales, we already have our fern house going and ferns are growing great! I admit this has been a rather difficult holiday time since this is my first Christmas in 73 years that I didn't have both my parents here to be with, but oh how blessed I've been to have them as many years as I did. Some are not so fortunate, Mike was one of those, he lost his dad when his dad was only 58 years old. A lot of you have experienced that too and more. But even though these times come, we always look for a better day and there will be better days!! Doesn't mean we miss our loved ones less just means we put one foot in front of the other and proceed in our lives, which is what they'd want for us. We hope you all have a wonderful day today but a wonderful life too!! We will hope to see you in spring of 2025 at BKA (hang on it's just around the corner 😊)

Good Morning BKA Fans!! We haven't talked in a while, hope all of you are doing well and getting ready for the holidays. Just thought I'd bring you up to speed as what's going on in our farm lives. I've begun a journey - a journey that if we outlive our parents we all have to do, going through someone's lifetime. Something it took them years to build and suddenly that time ends. Most of you know, my mother passed away in March at 97 years young, my daddy has been gone 9 years. And in those 9 years, momma lived by herself in the house and on the farm she has lived on since 1944. Mike and I now own this legacy that we call Bradley Kountry Acres that was for many, many years Durrett Dairy Farm. Lots and lots of changes over the years and I know after we leave this earth more is to come. After all we are only God's tenants on this land! The last two days, I've begun the journey of clean up, clean out, what do I keep, what do I give to others and remembering all of the instructions Momma gave me as to who got what Lol She must have thought I had a good memory, most is not written down, but I do know and I do remember her instructions. This is going to be a long journey, one that probably will not be finished when our seasons begin in Spring of 2025. But I'm taking my time and relishing the many memories I have of this house and farm where I've spent my entire 73 years. Lots of tears but lots of laughing too!! I was so blessed to be born into the Durrett Family, to have a daddy and momma that loved their children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren more than words can express. I've always said I wish I were more like my parents, am I, no, oh in some ways yes, but I'm not sure I have their caliber. They were born in the 1920's and went through a lot of distress, the depression, World War II, a son who served in Vietnam and the many ups and downs of the farm life. But through all of that , they came out on the other side. Not because they were better at anything than anyone else, but because they always, always put God first in whatever they did during their lives. They are proof positive, put God first, then everything falls into place. Doesn't mean, you won't get sick (they both had bouts of cancer) or lose a job, or have difficultly paying bills, or lose family members and have all around tough times during your life. They had all of this but came through with flying colors. I know where they are, doesn't mean I miss them any less and would love to talk to them again, but I'll get my chance someday. So this is my last few days, and more weeks to come, but I'll get through the sadness with tears but smiles too!! Have a beautiful Thursday and we'll talk again soon!!

Good Saturday Morning!! The sun 🌞 is finally peaking out . How's your week been, hoping all has been well with you and your family 😊 Thanksgiving πŸ¦ƒ is getting here fast and Christmas πŸŽ„ getting here faster I think lol. I don't think that I've told all of you yet how appreciative we are for all your visits to the farm in 2024, thank you !!I'll have to say it's been a challenging year, from family loss to crop loss, but every family, every family business, every family farm will experience those times. One day at a time, one season at a time and with God's assistance we carry on. I'll have to say the verse I'm posting has to be one of my favorites, because without God's guidance, we're nothing. Thank you all for your farm visits this year and we will certainly hope to see you again in 2025 at πŸ“πŸ“ time. I'll be posting periodically about our farm raised beef sales as that will continue throughout the winter. God Bless All of You, stay safe, stay healthy, stay encouraged, one day at a time and we'll talk again soon!

Hope all are having a great Friday! Be safe, be kind and above all be thankfulπŸŽƒ

When you see the scenes in these posted pictures, you know πŸŽƒπŸŽƒ season is over at BKA Lol Our son's beautiful cows and steers had an early Thanksgiving feast πŸ™‚ and probably will for several days. I know it may sound crazy to some of you, but I felt so happy and comfortable standing in the pasture with these gorgeous animals πŸ™‚ Guess that's my "Happy Place" lol Gates at BKA will be open today 9 til 4. We do have some beautiful pansies that are just waiting to be put in your winter time flower pots and landscaping. Also, don't forget we have our farm raised beef for sale too! I'll be here today doing some greenhouse work and hopefully planting my pansies and some more clean up so if you need me my number is posted on the red table in the shed. Have a great Monday and make it a good week!!

Happy Halloween Everyone πŸ‘»πŸŽƒπŸ‘»πŸŽƒ Well, I typically start tearing down in the parking on Halloween and this year is no exception. I've gathered all the mums together and we have 27 remaining. So we'll do a new price $5 for one, $8 for two. While some of the blooms are beginning to fade, the leaves are very, very green. Now they won't bloom again this year,but for this price you might like to plant for 2025 fall season and see how they do. It's worth it if you have the time. We also have several beautiful Jack-o'-lanterns perfect for carving and just in case your Halloween get-together isn't until this weekend, we've got you covered. And at half price too!! Gates will be open through Saturday 9 til 6. After time changes, we'll adjust our hours but remember we still have lots of beautiful pansies just ready for your winter time flower pots and landscaping. And they're on sale too! (Our Farm raised beef is available tooπŸ„πŸ„) Have a great Thursday πŸŽƒ
