Farm & Garden...

Here it is summer...

and I haven't even posted Spring images !

 

This is in the backyard by the guest house...

Whiskey barrels make great plant stands.

The Wisteria vine really put on a show...

Wisteria blooms...

More whiskey barrels by the grape arbor...

Check out the size of the lime hosta...

We tore out all of the rhodies in front of the house

last fall and are going 

low maintenance flower beds.

I am still looking for landscape rock to fill in

the flower bed with the whiskey barrels.

We removed all of the iris from this flower bed

in the front yard last fall.

This spring we planted a few new plants

and added planter boxes for flower seeds...

The Cowboy built me  Cowboy Boxes

to plant flower seeds in the Spring...

He burned our brand in the side and hammered

on a few horse shoes.

The Cowboy also built this bird house

that the Tree Swallows nest in each Spring...

Also growing in front of the house

are calla lilies blooming...

Calla Lily blooms...

They are so elegant...

On the other side of the yard is my Thread Shed

and off to the right is the Hen House,

off to the left is our little red barn...

We also removed rhodies from the left side

of the Thread Shed and replaced

them with whiskey barrels and planters...

Another ornament in the yard is

my red tractor...

The Cowboy hooked up the hay mower...

I have spent the last several weeks inside

the cab of this tractor...mowing hay.

I do love to mow hay...

I find it very relaxing.

They hay fields have all been 

mowed, raked and baled...

We are now loading the hay bales on trailers

and hauling it to the barns for winter storage.

I will soon have time to get back to

my sewing machine.....FUN !
