Happy Holidays!~

From our house to yours....

We hope your holiday season is filled with cheer, laughter and much coziness!~ 

Baby Chicks

The baby chicks are already in stock at the local farm supply store!~

It seems early, but if this weather continues to be this nice in Michigan, why not!~ We don't need to add any to our flock this time around, but I do have to clean the coop!~ 

Good thing I woke up with a "no excuses" frame of mind!~  If only those little chicks stayed that little (along with everything that comes with them). 

We do love the eggs though, so "no complaints" is a great motto for today too :).

Cupula, bell tower and snow bunny, Oh My!~

We have had an exceptionally mild Michigan winter, until we didn't. 10.5 inches in less than 24 hours of thick, wet, beautiful snow. I couldn't resist taking some photos...

Bobby Boop, snow bunny extraordinaire!~

My grandma's swing. Love the snow caused cascading evergreen!~

Sunroom & cupula. Front and back. Built by my amazing husband!~

Gazebo!~

Bell tower - can't wait to find the right bell!~

We have french doors that have been waiting in our shed for some time for just the right use - I think they might be perfect replacement doors for the front entrance!~

Kid's fort!~ (built by my man)

grapevine wreaths on shed

My talented husband built the fence and structures in next couple photos. Seriously so thankful for his skills!~

Horse shed!~

Dakota & Goldie. Sweet miniatures & brothers who would be lost without each other.

Chicken coop!~ The chicks are staying where they are warm.

A touch of water in creek bed. 

So pretty in real life!~

peek-a-boo!~

From our farm to you!~

Enjoy something beautiful today... or silly, 
like a bunny in a flower pot!~

Happy Friday!

It has been a full week, full of flowers, meetings, bridal quotes and... more snow!  Though it is lovely and looks amazing on our chicken coop, it is time for it to go.  I promise, we won't complain if it gets stifling hot this summer!

 

This week I got an order for a special arrangement celebrating the life of a 96 year old woman.  

 

There were just a few blooms left, so I put together a little something to be used at our "bring on spring" dinner with friends tonight...

Though I used pussy willow branches for these arrangements, I also love using flowering quince at this time of the year.  The following photo was taken at the GRunveiled bridal show that we participated in a few years ago.

Soon, this Michigan snow will melt and we'll be hearing more birds sing while breathing deep of sunshine, warmth and flowers once again.  This photo compliments of one of our sweet June 2013 Forrester Farm brides.

Have a wonderful weekend and enjoy the moments!
