Humble Pie Farm

Greetings! It's the beginning, well okay, middle of week 4 and last week so many beautiful flowers went out into the metro area and you know what, I don't have one photo. Not one. I think because I have an 18-month-old in one arm and flowers in the other. No room for camera or phone. Sigh. I'll do better next week.

Anyway, here's a written visual description. Loads of cheeky snapdragons in vivid reds and pinks paired with cheerful bright sunflowers and strawflowers in yellow and coral. Brilliant green sweet annie and neon magenta and plum sweet william. 60 plucky little hens and chicks in small clay pots sat on wedding tables with sea glass small jars holding 3 blooms of bright periwinkle blue bachelor's buttons, bright chipper orange calendula and uproar rose zinnias. Matching yellow-orange sunflower and periwinkle blue love-in-a-mist wrist corsage and boutonnieres.  

Do you have your mental picture? It was delightful. And more this week as we prepare for two weddings and the Eat Local Farm Tour, including flower child head wreath making and flower walks with new friends. 

Below is one of the only photos I took all week. I think you'll like it. Earl is my totally game, very patient, flower delivery assistant on Tuesday mornings. We leave at 6:30, stopping at two co-op groceries, and a business in Minneapolis. Our fourth stop, around 9, is the coffee shop and the park. Then we hop back in the car, and he snoozes while I drive back down for deliveries in Webster and Northfield. We get home around 11:30 for lunch. This is how we do family farm business, interspersed with slides and banana chocolate chip muffins. It's a great life. 

Happy week to you dear members!
Best,
