Flower truck(s) coming this morning! I’ll be updating this post later with a complete list of what is delivered, but for now, here’s what’s new this week. Mother’s Day, Graduation, and Father’s Day cards are in. We made [a limited amount of] my great-grandma’s rhubarb cake, plus rhubarb pie, banana mocha cake, cherry pie and lasagna & tater tot casserole.

We also have gift cards! We’ve always had gift cards, sort of, but these are a little more polished than our usual word document. They still work the same - pay for the amount you want, and have the recipient write purchases on card until it is all used up, then place in moneybox.

Since the weather is forecasted to be a little chilly tonight, we plan to keep everything tucked in the greenhouse. You are welcome to come shop, just know it may look a little chaotic, but we should be around to help you find what you are looking for.

“Truly I am your servant, Lord;
    I serve you just as my mother did;
    you have freed me from my chains.“

Psalm 116:16
