More Bees!
Matt setting up the beehive.
  This morning Matt and Pat arrived bright and early with three more hives.  We suited up as soon as they arrived.  Even though the ride was a little bumpy the bees were pretty calm.  The cooler weather was on our side also.  Pat had the smoker ready just in case but we didn’t even need it.

Matt moved the hives to the cinder blocks he had…

Bee-U-Tiful Day!
The first hives have arrived.
Steve and I have friends who are beekeepers.  Stories of a dying off bee population have made me aware of the value of the bee, and my responsibility as a landowner and grandmother to help save the bees.  My friend Matt feels the same way and has spent countless hours over the past two years learning about beekeeping.  When he and his wife Pat came over the first…

In Like a Lion...
In Like a Lion…
It’s a glorious day today … if you can stay home and look out the window.  It’s snowing here at Passion Flower Farm. Last week I was digging new flower beds and sketching my garden plan and today the skies have opened up with rain and then snow.  Now is the perfect time to update everyone about what is going on here at the farm. Zac and Sarah’s bathroom has been updated and looks beautiful.  They…

One Week In - Or How Am I Doing In 2018?
One Week In – Or How Am I Doing In 2018?
The floor and joists are gone! Today is Monday, January 8, and we are one week into the new year.  Unfortunately, I have no tales of great accomplishments as far as my resolutions are concerned. My weight is the same as it was last Monday.  I have not met my step goal once in 2018.  No blogging schedule to speak of. No business reading accomplished.  No painting.  As far as Passion Flower Farm…

Happy New Year!
A healthy and happy 2018 to all of you.  We hope you have all enjoyed your Christmas holidays as much as we have.  Our holiday was filled with family, food and fun and it’s hard to put it behind and get back to normal living. Our Christmas pajamas were a big hit.  We started off Christmas morning with some pictures showing off how lovely we looked. My beautiful girls on Christmas morning! We…

Sleepover
Today is Friday and that can only mean one thing. Sleepover!  Taz has been sleeping over on Friday nights for about two years. He slept over for the first time when Breezy was born.  He gets to pick dinner (usually pasta and Parmesan cheese). We eat in front of the TV.  Later he is allowed to watch a movie with popcorn.  We play legos or stickers or farm set the whole time also. When it’s bedtime…

Tomorrow is December 1
It is so hard to believe tomorrow is December 1. Where has this year gone? What a year it has been too! I am continually saying “at this time last year who would have thought I would be at home  with no outside employment – spending gobs of time with my grand babies and having time to volunteer!”  Never in my wildest dreams did I expect to be where I am today. Where are we today? The Passion…

Cyber Monday
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend and that you were able to enjoy your family and friends like I did. Much of my holiday was spend holding sick grandbabies. They were so pitiful and I loved every minute of them needing to be held, cuddled and spoiled. Due to their illnesses we decided not to drive to Hillsville, Virginia for our annual Christmas tree hunt. Instead on Saturday…

Another Great Day!
The Tuesday before Thanksgiving found me spending lots of time with Taz and Breezy. The weather was so pretty that we spent the afternoon eating popcorn, swinging on the swing, playing baseball and throwing out deer corn. Painting was a no go. Steve actually wanted to talk about our plans for the kitchen and Black Friday sales so we wound up going to Lowe’s and purchasing my new appliances.…

A good mistake!
A few weeks ago I went to Lowe’s to get paint. My colors were Mindful Grey in eggshell and Alabaster in semi-gloss. I was talking too much and didn’t check my paint until I reached home. There it was. Minimalist Grey which is a much darker color. Out of total laziness (Lowe’s is 30 minutes away) and some embarrassment I decided to keep it.  So this morning, while feeling the need to show that we…

Back in Business
For a few weeks now I have had issues with my website and the blogging page. Hopefully, this is in the past and if there are any other kinks maybe they will be minor.  I have missed blogging on a regular basis. There is so much going on here I feel like I have to type fast to get it all in. Painting continues in all areas of the house, partially because I purchased two gallons of paint that were…
