It has been a minute...catching up
how we almost got a new puppy, pumpkin season, pet loss and more
Hi friends!
It has been a minute since I have updated you all in this space. My hope is that by returning to writing here, I will be able to process the chaos that is my life. Good chaos, but still chaotic nevertheless.
So let me just jump right into it…
As most of you know already by following my social media, I was a flower farmer all summer. I grew cosmos, dahlias and sunflowers in great quantities, bigger than last year. It was incredibly fulfilling to make bouquets for people and deliver them locally. I also sold them wholesale to a nearby market. Then, I used the money I made to buy myself a new guitar. Her name is Joni and we have already written three songs together.
Music was a big focus this summer for me, aside from flowers. I like to juggle multiple things at once (it’s the ADHD in me, or the creative, who knows!). While I wish I could say I have made progress with actually releasing music — not yet! There were too many things that needed my attention to fully devote to music, as we geared up for our pumpkin season. I won’t give up though; I know those songs wanted to be written, and when they’re ready, will be released.
Towards the end of September, I traveled to Iowa for a cousin’s memorial service. She was only 30, so it was incredibly sad, but good to see family while there. Nearly all my family on my mom’s side still lives in Iowa, so I have a lot of people to see when I visit.
While visiting, my other cousin brought over a puppy, and I instantly fell in love.
