"I'm out of animal crackers, It's time to call Carolyn! She'll make it all better."

"Carolyn says she'll take care of it!"

"I knew Carolyn would make it all better!"

I LOVE this laugh between the two of them. I wonder what they are planning?

Papa Perry's funeral

On April 14, 2018 Benjamin Perry Hays Sr., Papa Perry, went home. It was a sad time for all, but we know he is no longer suffering. Perry and Dave played Amazing Grace and Going Home on the pipes. We will all miss him greatly.

Car crash into our fence

We were awakened by a horrible sound on this Saturday morning. Perry jumped up and found this scene in or front yard. I am amazed that this woman walked away without even a scratch. She said she was coming home from cleaning a client's house and fell asleep. Maybe, but who cleans houses at 5:30-6:00 in the morning. Thankfully she was not hurt and the fence can be replaced.

It's tomato plant sale time! Canoe Creek Farm

This year we have a high tunnel greenhouse frame and crushed brick. The farm is really growing and coming along. We hope to use this year's profits to buy the plastic we need to cover this greenhouse. I love having a table to display our beautiful plants. 

Planting time! I can't wait to eat these maters and make sauce.

Tomatoes being planted and broccoli being harvested.

Beautiful green and red lettuce.

Keri's baby shower

I had the pleasure of hosting and decorating for our friends Jason and Keri's baby shower. This is their first baby and they are so excited to welcome little man into the world. We went with an outdoor, woodland theme which matches the nursery as well. It turned out so cute and I love doing stuff like this!
