Fun on the Farm!

(little Strawberry Witch painting will be on ebay this eve along with a larger Witch painting)
~~~~~~~~~::~~~~~~~~~~~~::~~~~~~~~~

~Hi Folks!!!!~

Hoping this post finds you all relaxing on the porch
with a tall, cool glass of sweet tea!!
I got up good 'n early this morning...
first, I painted some Witch portraits,
...then I headed out to cut the lawn.

I love to ride my lawn tractor around our property...
I cut the lawn once a week all throughout the spring & summer.

I have a cool little wagon that Peter bought for me
so i can cart around all of my garden stuff...
(right now there's chocolate mulch in it for my herb beds...)
I need to visit our local nurserry in Appomattox for some more herbs...

...my Strawberry plants are looking good!

I'll be moving them to inside the shops' fenced-in garden,
so the deer can't feast on them again this year,
along with my blueberry bushes and a snowball bush!

Look how happy this Lamb's Ear plant is!!

I have to paint the beeskep white...
that keeps them from deteriorating in the weather.
I'll be starting my week of working on some stitcheries for the Pharsalia event,
then I need to design some new needle punch for the shows in Sept & Oct...
All of my visitors have returned home...we had tons of family come down to visit this month, so I haven't had the chance to stitch too much...hoping that will change a bit now!!!

~~~~~~::~~~~~~~~::~~~~~~

I have 3 new Hallowe'en cross stitch designs being stitched while we speak!
I hope to release them in June,...
they are:

*Goodwitch Sampler*

*Skeleton Keys*
&
*Hallow's Nigh' *

~looking forward to seeing these all finished!!~
Well, friends, I'm heading over to Ebay to list those Witch paintings...
I'll look for you again tomorrow!

Blessed be!
~Lori~

Everything looks beautiful! So peaceful looking. Please be careful with chocolate mulch if you have dogs. It is poisonous for them.
