The daffodils are blooming as well as my ranunculus! That means that bouquets will be coming soon. Did you know that ranunculus are part of the buttercup family and their name means little "frog?" They are NOT edible as they are poisonous. So don't take a bite of them, but enjoy their beauty instead. They can last from 10-14 days in a vase and are simply extraordinary!

What a wonderful treat to have a wedding in February! Though the snow made sourcing the flowers and greenery a bit tricky . . . the bouquets turned out beautiful! Here is a sneak peak at the bridal bouquet. Always so grateful to do a wedding!!

Are you ready for spring yet? It is coming! I just finished organizing the flowers I will be growing for next year's subscriptions. I am so excited! It is always fun to dream of flowers and then see what nature decides to produce. It is always a mix of failures and victories . . . but that is the adventure and the miracle of growing.

This winter weather has been so lovely. And thank heavens that my tunnels have held up! But now that school has been canceled for over a week, I think it is time to say goodbye to the icey snow 😆!

Every Christmas I love making wreaths. I love seeing how so many small and different greens can come together to make a stunning wreath! As I was working on your wreaths this year, I was reminded about the beauty of unity. Unity does not mean a loss of unique personality and talents . Unity instead uses each of those differences to achieve something greater than what one person or personality could ever achieve. With the coming of this new year, I wish all of us the ability to achieve more unity in our families, work, community and nation. Have a truly Happy New Year!!!

Merry Christmas Eve everyone! May the gratitude for our Savior fill this night just as the stars fill our night sky. May hope bloom in our hearts for the coming year. And may we keep the spirit of Christmas with us all year long! Love you all!

Plants are in the ground . . . the second round of ranunculus and anenomes are sprouting . . . so I figured it was time to learn how to grow something else. Has anyone tried their hand at sourdough? I can't tell you how proud I was to produce this beautiful loaf out of the simple ingredients: flour, salt, water, and sourdough starter. Thank you Meg for sharing your starter and for giving me a tutorial with how to do it! I still am a sourdough novice . . . but it is fun to keep "growing!"

It has been so warm! Because of this, I was able to harvest some more flowers before pulling them all out. These two amazing women came and made some amazing "end of the season" centerpieces. So much fun! As I plan my upcoming season . . . would any of you be interested in a centerpiece workshop?
