I LOVE THIS ANALOGY:
You are holding a cup of coffee when someone comes along and bumps into you or shakes your arm, making you spill your coffee everywhere.
Why did you spill the coffee?
"Because someone bumped into me!!!"
Wrong answer.
You spilled the coffee because there was coffee in your cup.
Had there been tea in the cup, you would have spilled tea.
Whatever is inside the cup is what will spill out.
Therefore, when life comes along and shakes you (which WILL happen), whatever is inside you will come out. It's easy to fake it, until you get rattled.
So we have to ask ourselves... “what's in my cup?"
When life gets tough, what spills over?
Joy, gratitude, peace and humility?
Anger, bitterness, victim mentality and quitting tendencies?
Life provides the cup, YOU choose how to fill it.
Today let's work towards filling our cups with gratitude, forgiveness, joy, words of affirmation, resilience, positivity; and kindness, gentleness and love for others.

Raindrops are falling on my head! No no no they stopped. 😔

FYI if you call my business phone and you have been a client or you called me, or I you. This message is for you but truly anyone!

I keep getting calls from a number(s) I answer with my business name. They then ask if it is my business name and I answer “ it is” they then hang up. They want me or my company to say “yes” so they can scam me and my accounts saying that I agreed to some outlandish purchase. Because they tape you.

Never say YES, break the habit folks.

Also happening is texts with simply “hello👋 “
Never respond delete message.

I tire of having to be at my highest attention at all times but we all must.

If I come off a little gruff when you call please understand and forgive me. I may have been getting calls from your number that is not you. 😔 I am trying to remember the call is probably legit so hold your tongue reins. 🙂

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!!! Farm stand will remain closed through this heat wave. After, we will see how crops look. Flowers finally catching up, others still being planted. Hopefully when I announce open we can stay open. Be safe be out there. If you have floristry needs be sure to call and order or go on our website link to order. We just handle things a bit different during extreme heat and setting them in a non air conditioned farm stand is not one of them but we can take care of you year around! 😉🌸

Poke me, I’m done. Just finished planting the last of my 11 new hydrangea’s, 3 fig trees, my asparagus. Yes all late but done. Sun sucked however. Now I am going to take a tired hard working woman NAP!!! Just a few p***y willows, lilacs, and a couple trees and a current. Then on to everything else that needs planting. It has been a hard year thus far.
