Dear Holly: Back Again at Moonflower Farms

9 years, 10 months.

Dear Holly,

Despite it snowing here in Alabama this week, Spring is in the air. So this past Saturday, Mommy and I took you back to Moonflower Farms; just a short Jeep ride down the road from our house.

You and Mommy enjoyed being able to pick your own tulips again, just like we did last year. And apparently it is also tradition that when we go there, you get to also pick out a souvenir from one of the local vendors.

One of the vendors had a station where you could choose patches to put on a hat or a bag. So you now have a new mini-size travel bag for our many upcoming trips this year!

 

Love,

Daddy

Dear Holly: Saturday Morning Flowers

8 years, 11 months.

Dear Holly,

Last Saturday morning, right after we returned from our family vacation to Florida for Spring Break, Mommy found out about a place she wanted to go where “you pick your own flowers”.

No further questions were necessary. All I knew is that I would be driving my wife and daughter there to Moonflower Farms.

You and Mommy had so much fun picking flowers, while I had fun taking pictures of you both.

There were also local vendors with booths set up all around us. At one point, I heard Mommy tell you, “Ask Daddy. See what he says.”

You had found a handcrafted bracelet with a turtle on it that you wanted.

Like I was going to say no…

Love,

Daddy
