Busy*Busy*Busy

As usual, summer is flying by...

Having a gift-shop makes the seasons

come so quickly. 

I must be thinking about fall in June.

Christmas in August.

The past two weeks I have been getting in new merchandise. 

Fall things are "in holding" until next month...

The new "everyday" things are out on the floor.

...and itty bitty sheep. $2.00 each. :)

The Bigger Picture

This is the final post of my gardens. I hope you 

enjoyed the tour!!

 Pebbles wanders the yard... :)

 Backside of the windmill garden. Wedding pics taken 

here because it was shady.

 Outside of the milkhouse I have lilies, clematis,

black-eyes susans and lambs ears.

 From the barn looking up toward the house. 

It's a long way!

 Chicken coop garden. I started it two years ago 

because it was a backdrop for the wedding. 

I love the clematis climbing the chicken wire

on the corner! The red lilies are in bloom now...

Gardens around farm buildings...

Tour #3 of 4 (I think) This is our "back yard" behind 

the house. My kitchen window faces the barns, 

workshop, chicken coop and sheds.

This first photo is the back of the gift shop. 

Same location as I have on my blog header

~yes, things change in two years!!!~

I think the black bear that I saw one Sunday evening

stepped on my daisies while 

meandering through the yard...

 I need to put something behind these chairs...any ideas?

 I got my garden in really late, and purchased the plants 

on the left side. Pumpkins, squash, tomatos and peppers.

On the right I planted cosmos, zinnias, sunflowers,

morning glories and herbs.

It has already filled out since Saturday!

 My little garden shed was formerly a turkey barn. Hubs

built it, used it once and that was enough for him.

So I adopted it! We used barn siding and an old barn 

door. (Not sure where it came from...)

This is Pebbles. She has been with us for 15 years! I 

also call her "Cleocatra" since she thinks I should wait 

on her and she always takes the best seat in the porch!

Have a blessed 

4th of July weekend!!!!

Prim Pails, Posies and Porches~Garden Tour #2

Here is my second picture post of my gardens which

were on the garden tour last Saturday.

This one features the porch my husband

added on to our farmhouse, 

the olde enamelware-top farmhouse table,

many of our made-on-the-farm birdhouses,

and pails full of flowers...

Tune in next time!!!

ALSO: Just back from a shopping trip with 

wonderful new additions to the shop...

Garden stakes, birdhouses, berry garlands,

candle rings, picks, baskets, shelves, tables, 

battery candles, prim holders and MORE!
