July 23, 2021 - Foxglove Flower Farm



Part of today’s adventure was stopping by Foxglove Flower Farm. I have purchased from them from afar in Florida and my sister bought my bouquet from them the other day. First we stopped by my sisters work with Jett and followed her out to the farm on her lunch break. 





Foxglove is a small business run by Dylan and his fiancé Alyssa. Dylan, who knew me through Instagram, was kind enough to take time out of his day to give us a tour around the farm. The flowers are gorgeous and their passion for what they do is evident. 



Tim and I love supporting and learning about these small businesses both at home and in our travels. It takes everyone together as a community to keep them going. The more people who discover them the more they can continue to grow. 



My sister went back to work and Tim and I finished up the tour then went shopping. Jett met Manny Quinn! We needed a few more items plus the ordered parts that I had shipped to my sister’s to fix the Airstream. Problem? We have two! One the interior spring valve broke on the toilet. Second … we think when problem one took place a piece of that interior valve fell into the holding tank. Then when he went to empty the tank that piece got lodged in the exterior dump valve preventing it from closing. Ugh. 
 


Of course on our return to the Airstream with repair  parts two guys from the motor home next door are hanging out on their picnic table that is right next to our exterior dump valve. They sat their ALL afternoon until we had to leave for dinner. Hopefully tomorrow an early try at the repair will get us in good shape. Uggggh!



Dinner at my sisters was fun! Jett came along and did fairly well. She got fussy a few times but we worked through it. We brought the fixings for Moonarittas! They grilled elk burgers for us and those were delicious! We got to meet her newest horse Chelsea. While eating we watched a deer come across the fields behind their house with her three fawns. And on our way home the full moon … WOW!!!
