Today is Christmas Day, and I’m flying back from my home state of Mississippi to reunite with my husband, dogs, cows, chickens, and the little slice of paradise we’ve created on our farm in Washington. 🐄 🐕 🐓 🌱

It’s wild how much I miss this space and the feeling of home every time I leave. I’d be lying if I said I always feel calm when on the farm, as there are always a million tasks to complete. But the sense of calm I experience is much deeper..more grounded in a sense of purpose and connection to the earth and the world around us. I’m looking forward to feeling this calm again soon 🙏

I had a wonderful visit with my sisters, mom and baby niece when visiting the home I grew up in. We made time to watch some family videos while home, and it was such a sweet reminder of all the moments that have shaped who I am in this world. We lost my dad to dementia 5 years ago, and since he was the videographer of the family, these videos offer a glimpse into how he showed up for our family through the years. The holidays can elicit so many feelings for folks, on both ends of the spectrum, and I’m acutely aware of this missing person in our world. 💕

Whether you are experiencing joy or loss this holiday season, I hope you feel support from those you love. Sending the best holiday wishes your way, and gratitude for all the support y’all have showed me and my little farm over the years ✨ Photo credit: and for the photo opportunity 🙏

Just when I thought spring was here, we got hit with another solid sleet/frost/rain. ❄️ But my goodness it’s gorgeous out there! ☀️

So grateful for the newest infrastructure addition to the farm. See that high tunnel to the left of the barn? Right now, it’s home to some cozy ranunculus and will soon be planted with more cool season blooms (snapdragons, statice, ammi, rudbeckia and the list goes on). Casey purchased it used, as an intimidating pile of parts. Despite my doubts, he magically put it together and it’s stood up the wild winds and snow we’ve gotten so far this winter.

As much as I’m feeling ready for spring, I could use a bit more time to organize for the growing season. How about you?

Full disclosure…I have never made anything this cute before. But seriously, look at them 🤩

You can find these little Thanksgiving place settings at in Proctor. I’ve only delivered a handful of them, so if you miss this batch, you should see more on Monday afternoon, in time for the holiday!

It’s such a joy to create these keepsakes, incorporating flowers that I harvested in the full throws of the summer season. Through the drying process, they’ve been given a second life and will last for many months and even years to come!

Oh my goodness, yesterday’s dried wreath workshop was SO much fun! Truly, thanks to everyone who came out to create some beauty while building community. 🙏

Huge shout out to for being the hosts with the most…delicious beer and cider. 🍻

Here’s a snapshot of one of my recent creations. Just swooning over the magenta strawflowers I grew this year. All natural colors, all grown naturally in our farm. Workshop participants could choose their ingredients and it was amazing to see how many combinations resulted.

I’m so grateful to have the opportunity to share these blooms through workshops, as it feels like they’re given a new life and a new home. So much goes into their workshop “debut” 😆 I spend hours crop planning and seed shopping; I plant the tiny seeds, care for them through the growing season, harvest buckets of blooms and then hang them to dry. When it’s time for workshops, it brings me so much joy to finally see them formed into something beautiful that will brighten a new home.

Are you ready for fall? This is my favorite time of year on the flower farm for so many reasons 👇

💐 Everything is in full bloom, so it’s just beautiful
💐 The the daily hustle involves harvesting beautiful blooms…the product of so much work.
💐 The infrastructure is (mostly) done, so irrigation is ready to go and my post-pounding days are over. Well, I say that as I’m about to finish supports for my final fall succession today…
💐I have loads of seedlings going for fall planting and early spring harvesting. Feels good to see seasonal horizon in sight and have plans for next year’s beauty.
💐The weather has finally leveled off and I’m soaking in the cooler mornings and beautiful cloudy skies
💐 We have an over abundance of delicious produce rolling in and it’s so rewarding to eat it fresh and put it up for the winter.

Are you a fan of fall too? Tell me why!

Bam! How’s this for a color combo? 💙 💖 💛

Once we hit late august/early September, I have enough blooms rolling in to be picky on what I decide to harvest for bouquets. I haven’t chosen to integrate this purple/blue flower called ageratum for a few weeks, but now I’m regretting that!

It’s hard to find true blue in nature, so I think that this blue-ish bloom brings an incredible accompaniment to other flowers. Whatcha think! Plus, my nerdy former art class self has an affinity for colors that are opposite on the the color wheel, so this combo is 👌 🥳 👏
