I HAVE BEEN GONE TOO LONG!!! OUR FARM,CLASSES AND FLOWERS ARE ALIVE AND WELL

What can I say, it has been just way too long since I have posted anything on my blog.  I was looking at another flower website the other day and it had a link to a "blog", I got excited and clicked on it hoping to see and learn something new. When I got there, the last one posted by that person was December, 2017.  I was so bummed, I thought why have a link if you don't post.  Then I had a guilt moment that I haven't posted either and  just as bad. Where does the time go.
So here I am, from our small farm, Windmill Farm in the beautiful northern California town called Gridley, in case you forgot.  We have our soil tested every other year and it keeps coming up, the most perfect, the soils that everyone trys to have, we have it right here, where you put something in the ground and it just takes off.  Unfortunately, the weeds love the soil too.
 Busy flower season August and September.  Here are some highlights:










We had a few fun and different classes here at the farm too.  Frank made re-cycled pallet wood into round clock faces.  We had a class where the participants painted their own clock face, stenciled the numbers, installed the clock workings and went home with their own personalized wooden clock.









I completed a few knitting and crocheting projects along the way.


 And our fall pumpkin selling season started while I was away from my blog readers.



We had some school kids visit the farm but way too many photos already here, so promise to come back sooner next time to show you that fun day.  Please check us out on our Instagram account, I post every day there: windmillfarmofgridley.  And of course, Facebook-Paula Carli and also Windmill Farm.
The weather has been perfect, in the high 70s to low 80s with no rain in site. We do need the rain, but this helps us to get the fields cleaned up and our sheds cleaned and tractors ready for their winter rests.
Talk to you soon!!!
