Seed Swap
I was finally able to sneak away some time for gardening today. I got out there starting at 7:30 am for 2 hours, and tilled the earth by hand in the rain. It was so good! I’ve been doing so much indoors lately (work related), that it was good to get outside for fresh air and grounding! My first patch is an area for black eyed Susans, which will be around the perimeter of our porch. I have a salsa sized jar filled with black eyed susan seeds from my mom, in addition to some extra from my friend Bonnie as well. read more

Farm Trip
We finally made it to Anderson & Girls before closing time. This is a petting farm & gift shop that is in route when we pick up and drop off Leaf’s son in Charlotte MI. They have the best red kernel popcorn around! I *just* ran out, so it was awesome timing. We got to pet a bunch of critters. The goats love me, lol. I got to do some cheek scratchin’ and horn pullin’. This just reinforces my love and desire to get some farm animals at some point.

Now I have to make sure we stop there when Jasper is here. We used to go to a place called Lewis Farm Market, which is north of Rothbury. After we moved, it was less likely of a trip. Anderson & Girls is right on the way during our treks to pick up Johnny, so I’m excited to have an awesome place to go to pet critters again. Can’t beat the popcorn either.
