FINALLY FINISHED! Well, with this plot anyway. I have 27 left over Phenomenal plants – see pictured. Will be arranging for tractor dude – as I call him – to come out and till another area for our second plot. He is so reasonably priced and local it’s far cheaper than purchasing our own tractor […]
Planting the lavender field.
We started tilling our plot a few of weekends ago. This is our first year of large planting. We had a small plot at our suburban home before we moved early this year. Since moving, we have a couple of acres to work with. I thought we were starting out small – until the plot […]
Quick update on our Move & Planting
Hi everyone! I’ve had little time to blog lately due to our construction at the new house and the upcoming move. We had a new wall built to make a den into a fourth bedroom and also a closet built. We are the stage where we can paint it now. We are finishing up painting […]

Just wanted to let everyone know that I put a listing up on our shop for these jars. They come with 1 quart […]
The Raccoon in the tree & Spring Gift ideas
It’s almost April, which means spring is arriving and soon it will be Easter and then Mother’s Day. Around my neck of the woods the weather has been cold, then warm, then cold, then warm – a typical Michigan springtime. We’ve had a good amount of rain as well. However, the crocuses have peaked up […]
Murphy and the Very Blustery Day
,Today was very windy! The winds were sustained at 55 miles per hour with gusts to 65. Two things happened to our property today. First, our weed barrier on our lavender bed ripped. It was at first flapping in the wind & hangi.ng off our fence, but before I could go out and grab it, […]
Welcome to March!
We have had some warm weather at the tail end of February. Temps reached into the 60s, near 70s some days, which was setting some records around here in Michigan. However, now that March has hit it’s cooled down a bit and had some thunderstorms. I am definitely looking toward spring this year as this […]
