Greetings!

I hope you all are enjoying this beautiful weather. Even though my boys would like to build a snowman, I am thankful that it's warm. I enjoy seeing early spring blooms emerge, such as Daffodils, Cherry blooms, and Lenten Rose, (pictured to left). It's a glimpse of the spring that is soon to come.

Jump Rope, our male goat, has become very friendly here at Wyatt Farms and now it seems that Easter Egg, our white female, may be expecting. We are excited about the possibility of baby goats and we will keep you updated on her progress. In the meantime, Jump Rope is going to return to his original home

Flags, Mats and more Flags
Well, I must admit...It has taken me a while to appreciate garden flags. If you remember Dina, she loves garden flags. And now, I will confess, I love my Flag too. We have a standard flag on our back porch and the Boys and I just love switching it out with the seasons. We have added mats to our inventory at Wyatt Farms, as well, and I'm already hooked.
3 Great choices
Garden Flag - 12 x 18 flag that hangs from a garden stake. It's great for flower beds, to mark your driveway, or to decorate your front door.
Standard Flag - 28 x 40 flag that hangs from a pole installed on your house or porch. This one is my favorite because it is such a large splash of color and it blows nicely in the wind.
MatMates - Fun and colorful mats that can either stand alone or you can insert them into our mat tray. The Mat tray is made of sturdy rubber to help protect the mat and keep it in place.
Come check it out!
