Well I had this long story I was going to tell ya about us after we got home from the Daffodil Festival in Gloucester Virginia but this post started out Monday and now here it is Thursday and I guess I will get typed up what I can......We left had a BLAST at the Daffodil Festival met some awesome people and some of our usual customers showed up...again thanks for the support!!! It makes me proud as a peacock to see you guys!!! We set up on Friday and was able to see some of our other vendor friends and chat with them. We drove home which it took us a little over two hours each way. We no sooner got in the drive way and delivered three baby goats....and one was delivered right before we got home. We got in the bed at like 12 ish and got up at 3:50 am to get ready and drive back over to Gloucester. We were super busy and it was hard to get away to even go to the restrooms. I enjoyed every minute of it and we are sooooo THANKFUL!!! THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT!!!
We are forever having different set ups as you never know what kinda of space you will get how it will be angled or what have ya. So you always have to be ready to set up and be creative in different ways.
There are always lots of soap vendors but people tell me all the time my soap is the best, I charge it with love and healing powers and pour my heart into every bar. All my oils are infused with a lot of the herbs I grow. I also only use essential oils for all the soaps.
The jams and jellies as always are a huge hit and of course the honey. The goat cheese is always welcomed even to ones who have never had it.
I sold all my teas but two.
We were at booth 410 and it was cold. We had excellent vendor neighbors and I couldn't have had it any better....an excellent spot too! Thanks Daffodil Planners!
The parade was awesome!
More on the parade
Everyone was dressed cute in the parade.
These folks ROCKED!!! They helped sooo many of us and even offered free coffee, water, and prayers. They helped us unload our trailer when we arrived. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT!!! We couldn't done it without you all!!!
Of course mega amounts of the BEAUTIFUL Daffodils everywhere just stunning!

This was exciting to me and it is with any juried show as it can be very hard to get in them
This quilt was in one of the stores on Main Street and I knew the pattern as I did one of these quilts back in 2004 Turning Twenty.......made my heart sing!! Gorgeous work!
More Daffodils, my grandma Galbreath called them Jonquils which I looked it up they are called this in different parts of the country

As always trying to hike when I can....I just love it! Gotta keep protecting myself from ticks they have actually been out already this year
The trees are changing and I am seeing green on the hikes and tree buds
I saw this adorable little mushroom and I found the feathers on the hike
This week has been beyond busy......as always planting time is always an added amount of work along with the usual, it just means other stuff piles up, I am not as fast as I used to be and I get done what I get done now. Most of my seedling have come up in the greenhouse and my radishes are up in the high tunnel.
The okra is up and I still have to transplant today. I hope to finish that in the greenhouse and get the shade cloth up too. We are bottle feeding four baby goats sooo I have to stop and go make bottles.....I just love it!
Here are all the transplants I did yesterday, Bruce came in and said it looks like you got a hundred done....I said no not that many and Bruce of course being a numbers person says no you did a 106 these are all early jalapenos, which I can't even get enough jalapenos
