TODAY I AM THANKFUL FOR.......MY FAMILY BEING SAFE!
This blog is and always will be dedicated to my Sweet Hunter, our children & Grands now and one day our Great Grands after I am gone. Thank you all for your visit! Come sit for a spell! Welcome to the farm!
Yes, it's a squirrel! We like the kind of pets that take care of themselves. And this little fellow does a good job of that. |
And of course I LOVE my birds! |
We actually don't feed our birds in the spring and summer so this is actually winter pics. |
First of all let me ask you to forgive my blurry pictures. I took pictures of pictures. Second, this is not a typical Easter story, yet to me, this is what it is all about. |
One of our Pastors mentioned in a sermon about the hungry children in the world going to bed at night with no food to eat and he mentioned how blessed he was, to be able to feed his children. |
At our church we have a food bank called "The Share Baskets". It is totally funded by our local Church members. |
The next Wednesday night, these children not only donated their money, but took their time to shop and then unload and stock the shelves in our food pantry at Church. |
There are several that work in the "Share Baskets". We were all touched as we watched the excitement of these little children helping to feed the hungry. |
While things are blooming here, I am gonna try to join up with Tootsie for Fertilizer Friday! If you want to see some pretty flowers, visit her blog and you will see lots! But don't go before you see mine! lol |
Happy Easter To You All! |
My little butterfly garden! |
Can you see that bee? It never knew I was there. I bet I have 50 pictures of him. |
"Happiness is like a butterfly: the more you chase it, the more it will elude you. But if you turn your attention to other things, it will come and sit softly on your shoulder." Thoreau |
Beautiful. |
Whenever I see our work boots set out I know that "Sweet Hunter" is in the working mood! |
We started with one of the gardens but it was way too wet! |
Then we moved to the screened in porch. Look at all that pollen on everything. |
So we got the water hose, some soap, mops and brooms and went at it. |
We moved everything off and scrubbed this porch from top to bottom. |
Here it is all put back together. Much better. |
I LOVE my screened in porch. So peaceful. This is the perfect time of year to enjoy it. You can hear the creek out back running. |
As you can see I have a lot of empty pots but I have some newcomers too. See my hen and chicks that Granny J sent me. My Dad saw them in these little pots and he let me know that I would have to replant them in something bigger. The amaryllis was given to me by my Mother because I killed Miss Victoria or so I thought. Mom gave me an Amryllis that she pampered and loved and was beautiful. I got it and it turned yellow and died last year. |
I didn't want to break the news to Mom about Miss Victoria dying but one afternoon I was at her house and she gave me that other one that you saw in the last picture. She also told me that she figured that I killed it and she gave me instructions on how to take care of it. But I had a little surprise this year. See that Amaryllis in that white pot....... that is Miss Victoria!!!!! She has came back to life!!!! |
Oh yeah, back to work.... now we are on the deck! |
Looks a little better! |
This table and umbrella and chairs was covered in pollen but it is better now. |
This is an old church bench that "Sweet Hunter" bought several years ago. We love it and it fits perfect on our deck. |
All that work and I still had time to crochet 3 more dish cloths!!! Today I am thankful for.............being able to work. |
