The little flower stall that our daughter is running has been such a success! She has enough orders and flowers to be busy almost every day. There is always watering and restocking of supplies to be done and as a silent partner in her enterprise, I am enjoying it a great deal. We made a little video for Facebook which was fun and being outside all the time is wonderful. The girls have taken to spending their afternoons reading a book under the big red umbrella.
There have been some quiet afternoons but there has also been a triple digit day....$100.00 buys a lot of sunflowers! We have also seen some folks that we haven't seen in a while and reconnected with some neighbours. Unfortunately, we have lost some stock due to the plants being so big and tall and just falling over. Also the unrelenting sun has been hard on some of the plants, but such is the life of a business person. Our daughter is learning about the responsibilities of self-employment and how hard that life can be. Overall though it has been a lot of fun and has made for many steps on our respective Fitbits!
I wanted to thank everyone for their support of our daughter and her summer project so far whether it has been through Facebook or by buying sunflowers or just by thinking of her. She has been enjoying her sunflower summer and is a year and a half seizure free. What else could we possibly ask for?
