As I sat at the end of a row of cherry tomatoes this morning, this is what I saw… As I looked up though, this is what I saw… A closer look… Out of the twenty-five or so large garden spiders I check on everyday this one is my favorite. She is persistent and predictable. […]
Yesterday Bruce and I ran back to American Composting in Little Rock to pick up another load of compost. Our trip was extremely uneventful and ended something like this… Prior to heading out though, Bruce got to the farm a little early and hung out eating watermelon with us while we waited for my mother-in-law to show […]
Better late than never. I know I say this as each new flower blooms in the spring and in the summer but this is my new favorite flower! A few years ago I attended a cut flower conference in Memphis where one of the speakers raved about green flowers in general and about this flower […]
Par for the course with anything having to do with Bruce, I got a last minute phone call this afternoon wanting to know if I could bale hay, NOW. I simply ask how high when he says jump. Robert was barely out of the car to take over Monster duty when I headed to the hayfield. […]

A few days ago I posted this picture. Every time I look at it I have this feeling of familiarity like I’ve forgotten something I used to know. Tonight we went to the new Spiderman movie and an actor came on screen towards the end of the movie and Robert leaned over and said “It’s […]
I used to be an artist. My medium of choice oil and canvas. Years ago that medium changed to soil. As our farm evolved over the last few years function began to outweigh form, yet pretty is what continues to make me happy. I sat down a while ago to photograph a few sunflowers I […]
I probably should have gone to the Bernice Garden Farmers Market today, but I didn’t. I decided to take the day off. I did still pick cherry tomatoes and we did get a little planting and irrigation done but otherwise we just hung out. This afternoon we decided to take Monster Milan to the park at the […]
