Flower Farmer Update: soaking up all the Spring flowers while I can.
This update is actually about the flower farmer and what the flower season will look like. Some of you may know that I have been dealing with knee pain for a while. In less than 2 weeks, I will have my meniscus “cleaned up.” Recovery time is unknown because it depends on what the surgeon needs to do, but🤞for the shorter recovery time.
With that being said, after last year’s LCL tear of my other knee, I know it will only keep me out of the garden for a short time. Being in the flower field, after all, is my recovery from a very long school year.
In the meantime, this weekend’s flowers may have been it until some point in July. The focus now is on wrapping up my art classes and art room with 7 school days still remaining after my surgery AND getting seeds/dahlias/plants in the ground.
Thank goodness for my amazing support team of my husband, mom, bff, my art teacher counterpart, and my teacher friend/therapist or I would be losing my mind right now. Oh, and ice packs!
