Boy howdy, it’s been a busy May here at the BEACH FARMGIRLS house near the sea. As the old saying goes, we've been “Making hay while the sun shines! ". Whew! It feels great to sit down and " pen ' this post to you today! I bet many of you have been “hard at play”in your springtime farmgirl endeavors too! I hope you don't mind another post about FLOWERS! I haven't been anywhere except the nursery and my yard for weeks! Wanna see the latest in my Backyard Flower Farm? Grab your garden clogs and let's go see what's comin' up!!! I promise a sweet treat at the end of the tour....

Dear sisters,
Happy May! I just love this time of year don't you? The long wait for leaves to pop and first blossoms to bloom is finally over! Now we can get down to business tending our suburban gardens and farmsteads. I'll share my "new starts " from the greenhouse before this post comes to an end but with Mother’s day just around the corner I can't help thinking back on some of my most memorable
" MOM MOMENTS ".
Grab a Kleenex box and your favorite comfy chair. This post might go longer than usual and there may be some happy tears!
Debbie Bosworth,
is a certified farmgirl at heart. She’s happily married to her beach bum Yankee husband of 20 years. She went from career gal to being a creative homeschooling mom for two of her biggest blessings and hasn’t looked back since. Debbie left her lifelong home in the high desert of Northern Nevada 10 years ago and washed up on the shore of America’s hometown, Plymouth, MA, where she and her family are now firmly planted. They spend part of each summer in a tiny, offgrid beach cottage named “The Sea Horse.”
“I found a piece of my farmgirl heart when I discovered MaryJanesFarm. Suddenly, everything I loved just made more sense! I enjoy unwinding at the beach, writing, gardening, and turning yard-sale furniture into ‘Painted Ladies’ I’m passionate about living a creative life and encouraging others to ‘Make Each Day their Masterpiece.’”
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
