If you look real close you’ll see our new little bundle of joy in Derek’s arms.

I’ve dreamt about this moment for a long time. The bus stopped at the farm today for the first time in years.

When we bought this farm seven years ago, we were told it might have been developed if we hadn’t decided to farm it. It had been years since school children lived in our 100 year old farm house, and decades since the land had been actively farmed.

And now our oldest is starting kindergarten with a cabbage in her backpack that she grew to give to one of the teachers.

I studied rural revitalization and the repopulation of farms in my classes in college. And now we are living it.

This is the last planned public offering for flowers this year. And a beautiful week at that with all the lisianthus blooming.
