Front Yard Is Evolving

Published on: May 3, 2008December 30, 2015 by catballou24 Comment

We spend alot of time working on projects in the back – the vegie gardens, animal pens, studio, etc.. We realized that we’ve neglected the front as far as new plants go. I have a vision of this amazing ornamental garden. Full of interesting textures, colors, shapes, and height. So we planted some of that. […]

So Sorry It’s Been Awhile

We’ve had to weather a personal storm. I want to thank everyone who has been such a support to us during this time. Pregnancy loss is hard, but there are constant reminders to me that life keeps happening. I look forward to wading through these emotions and coming to a place of healing. Thank you […]

On Saturday the girls and I went to our local feedstore, Paleface Feed, to get feed and participate in an Easter egg hunt they were holding for the kids. The girls had a blast scrambling around, looking for eggs. And I have to say, that group of kids were some of the most polite. All […]

Flags!

Our little farmgirl, Lola, is turning 5 on the 24th. Her party is the day before and I’ve been working on getting everything ready for it. Seems like the time is just flying by.
