We just received a few pics from a valued customer and friend.
The Blooming Gardner ( Heather Roth ). She sends us a few photos each Christmas / Holiday / Winter Season to show us how she uses our products to decorate the homes and businesses in HRM.. Contact Heather at ( 902 ) 430 4268 for any Gardening / Design or Property maintenance questions you may have. For the past several years we have been lucky enough to be her supplier for Birch / Pine / Balsam Fir / Hemlock / Brush etc. This season was an especially family oriented gathering of product. Nikki / Our 2 daughters, Carter and Terra - Jean along with my brother Ashley filled the order since I was unable to help due to my knee surgeries. Thank you all so much for your dedication to the family farm.

PS: Heather, we love your woodsy touch and are proud to play a small role in of your operation. Thank You

and just like that there was water running

Over a year ago Chase and I started digging a trench from the house to our barn to bury a water line and electrical wires. Dingo supervised the operation, haha. Well, needless to say with all the goings on we endured with health issues and other misadventures we struggled to overcome in the last year, I didn't get it done. The past few days my brother Ashley came to our rescue and finished the job for us. We now have water and proper electrical wires to the barn. Thank you ( Little Brother ) for your support and dedication.
