NEXT SHIPMENT






























Excitement builds on the farm as we recieve our second shipment of trees, plants and shrubs from Burgess. Included are Colorado Blue Spruce for the driveway (you can see the branches in one of the pictures, some lovely freebies (the Cantaloupe and Tomato) and my personal favorite three weeping cherry trees! Oh people! Feeling the spring over here.
















Sunsets on the farm are always brilliant - this one in particular. The layes and colors coming through man oh man!! Amazing - these pictures do not do justice but wanted to share them just the same. All our best.

Bread # 3


Bread Attempt #3 - not as many pictures, I was on a schedule and had to get the bread in and out of the oven before I left for work. It all went great timewise, until I realized I forgot to allow cool time and to take pictures. Made it in time though and got these couple of shots of the starter with some ingredients and the bread just in the oven.

HQ GETS A GROWN UP DESK

















As you can see, Randy and Jimmy carried in a rather large desk. The story goes Randy found this desk at Office Depot, while taking Marcus to Office Depot so he could get a new desk. This one fit every specification I had ever wished for and Randy got it for $100! Then it turns out part of it was missing when he got home and we returned the boxes for an assembled desk. You should have seen the Office Depot guys trying to get it in the truck. It looked like they might pass out and had to call another guy out to help. Then we get it home, Randy and Jimmy bring it in no troubles!! Hilarious. We grew em strong round here. Also note that Jimmy has MOST EXCELLENT lifting position! He must be practicing? That is a picture of proper body mechanics! Thanks Jimmy. It has been a real pleasure getting everything organized and having a filing cabinent that pulls all the way out. It's the little things, ya know? All our best from PFF HQ

Spring Flowers are Here!





























Loving that sunshine at the farm! Gus is too. These are the Easter flowers. So happy to see their little bright faces coming out. Hope many flowers are coming up where you are ...

DAY LILLIES!

















Last year a former massage instructor of mine gave me a whole tarp full of day lily bulbs. I had meant to plant them and meant to plant them and it never got done last year. So before our very eyes the day lillies rooted through the tarp and started growing again! They are so awesome and hardy. Making it work where they were! Randy and I planted them by the red barn directly by the house and hope they spread like wildfire! As you can tell from my exclamations that I am most excited about these little things happening. Baby steps. What a blessing this kid is, really helping us to move it along and get our stuff together. Thanks Baby G! Wait til you see these flowers!! Deb Hall says they are brilliant. Thanks Deb!
