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...
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 !
May Your Bobbin Always Be Full,
