Happy Wednesday Friends & Folk!
a sparkling morning it is ~
there was a light frost last night,
which makes everything shimmer in the morning sunlight…
prompting me, of course to take a morning stroll with camera in hand:
my little grape hyacinths have naturalized a bit more
~ and are now filling up this tiny garden spot above our well-pump ~
sweet-faced angel watches over all….
aren't they beautiful?
love that color combination ;)
in the Farm Shop Garden, things are popping up all over!
brand-new lamb's ear wearing a bit of frost ~ below…
viola's, oat grass, lavender & a few 'volunteers' are coming to life in this box, below…
I won't pull weeds until after mid-April allowing everyone to stay protected & warm.
a small redbud tree, almost-spent forsythia
and my favorite Harry Lauder Walking Stick bush yawn & stretch to life once again ~
a close-up of the catkins on the HL bush
love the wonkiness of this plant and how it lends character to my garden all year long!
our humble home-place in the morning light ~
can't get over how green our grass looks!
St. Francis protects another of our little garden plots ~
keeping an eye on our woodland & farmyard friends…
Pinocchio & Daisy eating breakfast ~
a long-shot of their paddock along with Bobby & Esther in the background…
A Glorious morning indeed!!!
As most of my readers & followers know, I'll be heading down the dusty road in the wee hours of tomorrow morning to begin a fun-filled weekend of stitching-induced craziness!
I have one more motto punch needle design ALMOST finished…..
{thought I could get two more finished, but the 4th one will just have to be released
at the VA Rug Fest on April 9th}'
this design suits me {and some of you too!!} to a T…
it reads:
"Stitcher by day
Hooker by Night"
have just the dark background left to punch, then I will finish-finish it.
;)
I think it's FUN ~
and pretty much sums up my lifestyle & vocation HA!!
I'll edge this with some of that wonderful Silk Sari ribbon
just like the other 2 previous designs I've shown previously.
Well, I better get moving ~ I have miles to go before I sleep!
Think I'll stitch outside today & soak up that sunshine…
I will check back in here once I'm settled into our room in Georgia ~
I'm sure I will have many photos & much to tell :)
~ Blessings from the Farm ~
