Oh baby!

Over the past few weeks, there's been several new babies at the farm! Want to see some cute baby pics?  

It's a boy! 💙🐮

It's a girl and she has a very spunky, fun attitude about her! She was born on Valentine's Day and I call her Juliet. 💗🐮

Her first calf, his first steps! I came back from the feed store and she had a new baby and was looking at me like "what just happened here?" She then proceeded to play hide and seek with her baby for a week. Some cows will hide their babies for a few days, till they get strong enough to keep up with the herd. 

Last year, this cow had her baby in the snow and ice and we had to get her up in the shelter to keep the new baby warm and dry. This year, she picked a beautiful, warm and sunshiny day to have her baby! I fed all the cows and was looking everybody over and she took off to the woods and across the creek. She stopped once, looked back at me as to say "come on, hurry up, I got something to show you!" I like the cows that like to show off their babies instead of the ones that like to keep secrets hiding from me! 

It's always exciting to find the babies and another thing I love about spring!

Yellow Wedding Bouquets and Daffodils

Some weeks seem to be about a certain color. A few weeks ago it was all turquoise bouquets, week before last it was navy. It's been a while since I've had any yellow orders, but last week had lots of bright and cheery yellow bouquets. 

Thursday night, I received a message titled "I need help." She was helping a friend and they needed wedding bouquets for a wedding THIS coming Friday! I was able to rush the order for them and they are being air mailed to San Diego today! I'm happy I was able to help them out on short notice. 

They ordered a bridal a bouquet with jade and tan burlap roses and vintage Ivory lace flowers and 6 sunflower and burlap bridesmaid bouquets.  When we were discussing colors for the bridal bouquet and I sent a picture of the jade bouquet - she said "when I think Jade, I think more green instead of turquoise. It's not like that crazy color changing dress is it?" I must agree that I think of jade as being more green, but the jade fabric is really more of a light turquoise / aqua color. 

Yellow week coordinated with the daffodils blooming in my yard as well! I love daffodils and they signal that spring is right around the corner. 

One bride had added an additional bridesmaid to her wedding party and she chose yellow for her color and is surprising the mothers with wristlet corsages to wear.

In her previous order, last month, each person has a different color dress, jewelry and bouquet  

My Grandmama's birthday would have been last week as well. As a child, I picked daffodils out of her yard to give her on her birthday. It's been 14 years since I was last able to give her daffodils, although I still pick a bouquet on her birthday. I miss her so much...

Another set of yellow bridesmaid bouquets.

And a sunflower and burlap bridal bouquet. 

This week looks to be a combination of navy and turquoise bouquets, along with getting ready for the Backwoods Marketplace in just over two weeks!
