Thanks so much for weighing in yesterday on our
potential adoption of Rosie the Newfie!
I could have predicted what your response would be.
While it is true that I am very busy and
life is very full.. it is full of the things that I love the most.
life is very full.. it is full of the things that I love the most.
But there is always room to love a soul who needs it.
And a Newfie?...returns that love 100 fold!
And so, dear Rosie is coming for a farm visit on Thursday night.
She will meet the family and we will see how we all get along.
At that point we will make a decision.
My guess is that all will be fine.

So, enough of that!
I wanted to show you a couple of lovely things in the garden.
Orange Coneflower |
This box is new this year...and holds beans of all sorts...
green beans, lima beans, Christmas limas (dry bean) and this
incredible Chinese Red Noodle bean...
It is a green bean variety...red on the outside, green on the inside.
Outside the garden, hanging in the green bean vines...
Hubbs' old work boot (the other is planted) repurposed as a birdhouse.
I took a lot of time last summer planting perennials around the border of the garden.
This summer they are lush and lovely...
a wallpaper of sorts for this outdoor room I call my garden.
And then on the lower corner of the garden...
the biggest grapevine ever!
Believe it or not...that huge mass of grapevines that spreads in either direction
from the corner... is just one single grapevine.
This single grapevine will supply us with grape jam and grape juice to last
through the winter.
Amazing!!!
We try not to waste anything on the farm...
especially our produce.
Even lettuce that has bolted finds a welcomed place with the pigs...
To that, Ginger and MaryAnn say... "Lettuce Eat!"

So glad you are welcoming another member into the family. Lucky dog!

Your farm is so neat and tidy. The nicest one I've ever seen.
You live my fantasy life. : )
