As Promised.........

Finally a pic of one of my crafts.
I made it just after Christmas when it was cold ........and I was oh so tired of cold.
The white woven back was a "treasure" from a second-hand store for 99 cents (actually it's an old plate charger).  I painted it white with some of the brown showing through for a vintage look.  The flowers were purchased at Michaels with my Christmas gift cert (thanks Jen) and the bird nest was a salvage from my rose bush--just sprayed it with a little adhesive to hold it together. 

Hope you enjoy!

Saturday on the Farm

Daylight is slipping away as the clouds roll in......it's good to be tired and safe.  Today was outside creativity.  By 8:30 AM I was at Lowe's buying seed and fertilizer........spring is here, I just feel it (won't be surprised though is ol' man winter has another trick up his sleeve).  My spring kitchen garden is in the ground:  radishes,  lettuce, spinach, sugar snap peas, and Swiss chard. Oh yeh, and a new yellow rose bush--even if you can't eat it sometimes you just gotta have something that makes you feels good (minus the thorns that is).  The sun warmed their little "seed souls" all day and tomorrow God will tilt his watering can in our direction.  Life is good!

Glimpses

Let's try this again. Lost all of my previous post tonight. I barely have enough time to get through my daily routine much less give birth to a blog. I work a full-time job as a benefits manager so that I can feed the "Head Farmer in Charge" (good thing I like to cook.........anyone want to do the dishes?). He also works a full-time job so we can feed all the other hungry mouths. We lost a week old baby goat today. Sad but a fact of farming. Still you grieve the loss of life and the mother's loss (yes they know). We raise Kiko goat breeding stock--a meat goat which originated in New Zealand (where our prays are with those living through the devastation of today's earthquake).

Tomorrow night I will spend the night with 2 of my grandsons. Wonder where they'll want to go for dinner? Wonder if I'll have any influence in the decision--NOT! Looking forward to our night together.

Maybe I can post some pics of projects that I've completed since Christmas before the end of the week............NEVER ENOUGH HOURS IN THE DAY.

Off to finish the kitchen, wash today's eggs and then off to peaceful slumber.
