Sunday evening 5/11

Happy Mothers Day!!!!!!  We hope you all had a wonderful day because ...... you deserve it!  So many smiling faces today on the Farm.  It was a great day and a great start to Sunflower Season.
    Have you seen the forecast highs for this coming week?!  I just checked three different forecasts to verify each other.  91 tomorrow, 102 Tuesday, 106 Wednesday (whaaaat?!) and several 100's after that.  Today was only 83 and I felt like it was hot, can you imagine how I will feel in a couple of days?   Mornings are still nice so now it is going to be even more important to come in the mornings.
    The Strawberry season is continuing to limp to the finish line.  I don't expect hardly any berries to pick Monday and Tuesday (Closed Wednesday) so that means Thursday morning will be the next best time to get some.  The plants do not like the heat so it will be interesting to see what the next few days do to them.

   Sunflowers!  Is it possible to look at a Sunflower and maintain a frown?  I think not.  They are just a happy flower (unless you are a real row crop farmer and they are a nuisance weed --- lucky for us we are play farmers).  Today pretty much wiped out the open blooms but don't despair because they are just about to explode!  Thursday will be the next best day for Sunflowers too.

  So - open tomorrow and Tuesday with lots of fun activities, almost no berries or flowers to pick.  Open Thursday through Sunday with fun activities, lots of Sunflowers and maybe some Strawberries depending on the day.  Hope to see you soon!!
