~Busy In The Garden~

I replanted this hypertufia, it was overgrown. Bought a few new sedums to spruce it up.

Fairy garden


My little pond outside my kitchen.


Herb garden



I haven't been doing a very good job posting on my blog. I'm trying to get everything done in my gardens. This morning I took 85 pictures of my flowers and most of them didn't turn out. Thank goodness for digital cameras.

~Follow The Leader~

It's stormy in Ohio right now. I have been trying to update my blog and the internet has been very SLOWWWWW! I've been busy working outside the past few days. Yesterday I was in the pastures spraying the fence rows. The cows didn't notice for awhile, then all of a sudden I had 100 heifers following me. They are so curious. They are very gentle, we don't have any bulls in the pasture with them.
After I was finished I went through the lot and noticed one of them had a calf. That doesn't happen too often because they are usually taken back to their home farm to have their babies. Mom and baby are doing fine. We have over 100 heifers and this little calf is getting taken care of. I went down last night to check on the calf and they were surrounding her. I got in the middle of them they started licking me, guess that's where the term "Cow Lick" comes from . LOL!

~*Flag Day*~

Today when we were coming home from Marblehead Ohio, I too this picture. This picture was taken in Norwalk at the VFW. The flag was HUGE. Hopefully, I can get my blog updated I've been really busy. Hope everyone has a great week.

~*Primitive Patriotic Hooked Rug*~

It was a BEAUTIFUL day in Ohio today, not a cloud in the sky. I got alot of planting done today. Planted tomatoes in my garden, hopefully tommorrow I can plant the rest of the garden.

I just listed this rug on Ebay tonight. It was hooked by me and is a Polly Minick design. The pattern is from her book The Americana Collection. I didn't hook the pattern exactly like the pattern, changed it a little.

Hope everyone has a great week!!

~Iris, Hostas, and Peonies~

I've noticed this year how nice everyone's Irises are. Here are a couple pictures of mine.


Hostas are so pretty this time of year. The leaves have just opened and they look so fresh. As you can see I love Hostas, it has taken me years to collect lots different ones.

In the front of our house we have a Yellow Azalea bush. It is very old, Tom's grandma planted it years ago. It smells so good, usually there are alot more blooms. I'll take what we have, we had a very cold winter.

Where did last week go? I have been working in my flower beds spreading mulch. There are still lots of things I need to do but, the mulch is no. 1. It really cuts down on the weeds, so that saves so much time for me.
