PLUCK! have a few plants growin in our olde tin 'cowboy bathtub' .. planted lots of 'wildflower' seeds in here too and they are peeking their heads through the soil! can hardly wait to have a 'cutting garden'! that's the outdoor 'shower deck' in the background! more sunflowers .. i have these scattered here and there whereever there is sun shining! have a few 'potted plants' scattered about too! don't even know what they are .. but they shur are purty to look at! n'uther one! i put a potta' marigolds in the middle of this little basket of fleurs! never overlook a 'prim' container for your primitive gardens! got this for a buck last year ... painted red impatiens in it cuz' it's under the shade of a tree .. leaning up against a fence with grapes growin' on it! a few grape clusters this year ... we had such a dry springtime .. that we did not get .. no .. not even ONE .. teensy blueberry or cherry .. and we usually have tons! i think these grapes to be sour for eating .. but our neighbor tells me they make mighty fine wine! my new 'mos' fav'rit spot to be! under the apple trees .. in the hammock .. surrounded by pots of red impatiens and hanging plants. little 'country-style tea table is nearby for impromptu picnics! got this idea from friend, lynn ann in ohio .. she uses 'olde pulleys' to stagger hanging plants on! got this big wire hook hanger in ohio .. been on a 'pulley' hunt ever since returning .. now have about six or seven ov 'em!!! also .. never throw away a broken olde chair .. they make great 'seats' for potted plants!!! our hammock .. big enough for TWO honey hunk and i often find ourselves snuggled here together! and i put the little 'table' beside it to hold a big pitcher of iced tea! also have a humming bird feeder under the tree! an olde fish bait bucket holds more impatiens! a little junky one dollar table holds this 'cookin' pot (it's metal .. and i just gave it a bright coat of red paint and hammered holes in the bottom!) cute little ladder leaning against the apple tree behind it! another fun planter .. an olde 'lawn clippin' cart! love this olde green and mustard plow and basket fulla' fleurs! great olde shabby shutters waitin' to be 're-purposed' meanwhile .. they look good just leaning against the fence. 'ole man tree .. smilin' down on me! hammock looks down at the little red shed and another quiet 'sittin' spot! and behind the hammock on the 'red schoolhouse' .. is my year-round tribute to AMERICA!!! the rains have started .. thunder still beatin' drums in the distance .. and other than the sound of the laughter of our children and grandchildren .. there is no more peaceful sound than rain on a tin-roof!! gonna' go eat a sammich on the porch .. and read a few chapters of my GILES book! .......... more pictures of my 'sunday' coming soon! xo, frannie True Friends, Frannie CABIN CREEK FARM KENTUCKY
