Another Reason Our Clients Rock

It was so cold last night I had to cover my precious flowers to keep the frost from killing them. It breaks my heart when I wake up to a beautiful crisp morning and realize the flowers and vegetables are covered in death. This morning as I was uncovering things I was thinking how thankful I am for our wonderful clients—in general because they are fun to work with and allow me to do what I love and pay the bills—but, in particular because they are so nice and giving.

Last year, one of our clients and dear friends Steve Kemp brought over lovely water irises from his pond along with a few fish which the Shunney boys quickly named Big Papi, Manni, and some other Red Sox player I can't remember. The irises have been blooming for a week now and really cheer me up each morning with their yellow goodness.

This year, another client/neighbor/dear friend Jane Tabb (Fresh Feasts on the Farm) kept telling me she would bring over some top soil to fill in the small flower bed in front of our office. As promised, I came home one day after being out to a bed full of freshly spread topsoil. A few days later, Jane came by with some daylilies thinned from her own garden. They are now planted and I have vowed not to kill them. They look a little sad now but later this summer they are sure to be blooming with beauty. Stay tuned . . .
