These two darlings have been so amazing this week! Rising far earlier than they normally do to be dropped at a friends while I made the long trek into the city, eating dinner no earlier than 10 each night,hanging with me in the garage while I packed up all the orders and often waiting for a bedtime story and tuck in so many hours later than is typical for kiddos their age.
Last night my head finally hit the pillow at 1 a.m.
Elora kept me company for much of the evening, stickering sleeves, dancing,bringing out smoothies, reading us hilarious stuff, talking in great detail about the two new things she wants to start once the flower season is over (taxidermy and cat 4-H)...J-Bird helped me load the van. We truly couldn't have squeezed another bucket of bounty in the load. Pheew! That little guy is a good packer often seeing how I could move things to make another little pocket to fit more flowers. :)
I've got one more van load to finish up today and then a tiny "break"before we go back at it again.
Sun is in the forecast, we have reinforcements arriving for the weekend to help us catch up on planting/weeding, the kiddos are headed grandmas for a few days of swimming and focused attention.
Life is good!




I am truly amazed by the quantity of flowers and the smile on your face!
