Haven’t gotten the rain they’ve called for in days. Husband and kids start to plant next round of pumpkin seeds 💥 downpour.

Another local business! Don’t sleep on this family farm. Her flower bouquets are GORGEOUS! They start with veggie plants early spring (my garden is filled with them), continues the summer with seasonal flower bouquets and now eggs, then come fall she makes bouquets with pumpkins. Keep your eye out on her page. They are a hard working and just an overall impressive sweet family.

Always happy to talk about local businesses. Today myself and our oldest ran into Hanna City for a quick stop at DG.

Couldn’t be in HC without a pit stop to Black Sheep Coffee Mobile, their drinks never disappoint! It was our first time actually in their brick and mortar and it is super cute and chill. I love that they have books for you to borrow.
(Sorry didn’t take in pictures)

As we were leaving we notice a new shop open across the street Oakie Lane. If you have not stopped in yet, please do. So cute and the owner was super sweet! Love her antiques, many neat items you don’t see at the other stores. Pictures below.
