Alrighty friends! Before the world woke up this morning I made a batch of red bud syrup in hopes to be able to put this breakfast meal kit together for yall >>> success!!

There will be a limited number of these breakfast bundles available so if you’re interested please let me know!

They will be available for pick up at the Easter pop up market! Or mountain meetup for my local customers ❤️

Today I made a nice batch of vanilla paste, started working on some red bud syrup, and planted some St. John’s wart that I scooped up from the cutest little farm (along with some other things). James found a morel!!! AND another old truck in a field that I got to pull home lol. It’s time for bed 💤 😴 🥱

❤️❤️❤️

I am a true believer in real vanilla! I picked this up from Hillside Sunshine at the farmers market and it is absolutely amazing! If you had a blueberry muffin I believe this is my secret ingredient 😋🫐

What are you guys doing this morning?

I’m about to start working on a fresh batch of vanilla paste. Then hopefully in a few hours I’ll venture out to the big ole town of Spring City, there’s nothing I love more than a perfect spring day in a small town. Might hit up a few farm stands, might walk in the woods, might hit up the thrift store.

Mark it on the calendar and Come on out to the Easter pop up market. I’m working on something really special for you guys, a little homemade, fresh, foraged Easter morning treat ❤️

My daughter and I have a busy weekend/week ahead with her participation in the State FFA convention. But stay tuned for updates! I might get to work on some things before we leave!

I made some lymphatic drainage massage balm today with some cleavers I found by the piney river and some calendula I had in the garden last year. ❤️ I had to bust out my second herb dryer an it’s officially my favorite time of year 🌻🌸☀️🌱

This weather yall. We got a lot more snow than anyone was talking about yesterday but I do always say, if it has to be freezing cold can it at least be white. This is real time from my front porch! It’s still snowing but the warm temps seem to have kept the roads kinda clear.
My woodpecker sounds kinda like a jackhammer in this video 😂😂

Just me showing off my chicken coop some more! I just absolutely love it! 😍 we just picked up some Blue Old English Bantams yesterday to come live their best life here and call this place home at night. They are so small and so cute!

What a wonderful day! I had a great day at the market, thanks to all of you. Then I checked out an awesome new local store on my way home. Went and got some adorable baby chicks. Filled all the raised beds with compost (well James did that while I cleaned my planting area). Cooked a great dinner. Got all my “Sunday”chores done (a day early ) and now I’m snuggled up on the couch watching my babies sleep in the brooder and finally about to enjoy this sweet treat ❤️ just about the best Saturday ever ❤️

I remembered to bring my second table but I forgot all my candles 🤪 you can still come see me at the market though ❤️
