    It is never a good time for to get sick, and covid can really complicate things with having to quarantine, but our selling season is about to start, and there are 12000 Tulips on their way. Our first farmers market is coming up, and our roadside stand is due to open. What happens if our season starts with a major setback? Will we recover in time to salvage the tulips? Will we be stuck in bed instead of caring for the farm? You will have to watch to find out.

    The tulips are stunning even amidst your Covid outbreak. Covid played out for you much like my husband’s did in condition and length of time even though we are elders. For some miracle I didn’t get it from him. Also glad that you were real about Covid because people think it’s gone and it’s not. You accomplished so much even though not well. What a team! Here’s to good health through the rest of the year. If I lived in your area I’d be a mega customer loving fresh flowers. 😷😻☔️🌴

    Have you all considered offering workshops for your community? A local farm does them near me does dried flower arranging classes. That could be a good way to not let all your excess flowers go to waste. They charge something like $45 US for it. Classes are 90 minutes and some are just regular classes and others you can bring snacks and drinks. They are always sold out!! It might be worth considering!

    Girl! I feel ya! As a nurse actively caring for Covid patients I dodged the bullet until end of October of last year. And until almost Christmas it felt like it was all I could do to stay awake on my time off. And at work I was just hating that I work 12 hour shifts. That’s what we grown ups do.. what we have to do. Sending energy and love to you guys. #i hate covid. Lol

Then, my mom got it...89 yrs. old. Terrible 3wks. for her..but made it thru. Did you lose your taste? I have never got all mine back. I hope you guys make it ok, I know you will.
