Upcoming Trip to Moss Mountain, P Allen Smith's Farm

 

I am planning a road trip to Little Rock, Ark. to see Moss Mountain.

 

 

 

Moss Mountain is the spectacular 650 acre working farm of P Allen Smith.

In the last couple years I have followed his PBS - Create TV shows and

I find them so down to earth and inviting.http://www.pallensmith.com/

 

 

Why not I say, so I am packing my dog up and we are taking a road trip.

 

I will be attending his Thanksgiving fall tour of the farm, animals, garden and home.

 

 

His farm has many aspects to the area anart studio, design studio and much more. 
 



 

His produce is the rage in town and he sells to local restaurants in Little Rock and is also proud of his

extensive poultry and egg production. 



I just love fall and Thanksgiving is such a special time, it's our last chance for orange before the holiday season get hectic with gold, white, silver and red.

 

 



 

We are treated to lunch at the farm after we enjoy the tour of the farm,

gardens, orchards and his animals.

I just know Allen will be in the kitchen preparing mine.

Oh well a gal can dream.



 



 

My buddy, Jake, and I have never taken a road trip but I found the most divine B & B, Rosemont Inn,

that is  pet friendly and there's lots of walking, parks and gardens close by.  .

 

 

I know we will enjoy lounging in her lovely garden, peaceful is my mission.

 

 

 

Wish me luck!  Kathy



Mr. and Mrs. Casey Rowell and Cayden

 

 

 

 

 

If you have never order flowers from Sam's  - try it you will love it.

Good bulk prices, overnight shipping and very fresh.

 

Ashley wanted peonies but with them out of season that was next to

impossible but I did find from Fifty Flowers.com

a Peony Rose that was delightfully full and round.

AND THEY LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER

 

Now for the painful part, paying for it.  This photo should

be reversed Paula, Robert's wife was the

truly the one that made things

happen. She used her
secret ways.

 

 

OK - No more post on the wedding, I promise.  I just had to share

this very special occasion of my dear

niece Ashley..

Now Let's Party



The First Look -

Ashley looks just lovely but butterflies are making her nervous 

 

 anticipating the first time her true love sees her.

 

Taking in that wonderful breath of fresh air.

 

Anticipation

Waiting

 

Go To Him

 

 

She enters the room were her true love is and softly goes towards him.

 

 

He is thinking how can any man be this happy for he is  marrying

 

 this perfect woman whom his heart loves deeply.

 

 

 

 

Their first look and then the kiss.

 

 

 

Two hearts will soon be one.

 

 

This romance story continues. Now lets get this wedding on.
