Linder	Posted - Apr 07 2008 : 07:57:38 AM Mornin' Frannie, I LOVED your yard and thought that bucket that your friends Dad made was SO cute. I want one! I envy that big quiet yard of yours and you have a crick too? Ahhhh. "And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom"
CabinCreek-Kentucky	Posted - Apr 07 2008 : 07:19:39 AM lisa .. the birdfeeder is right by our back porch .. and we can see it through the kitchen door (which is glass) .. i don't like the idea of a 'glass door' on a log cabin (but it is on the 'addition connector' .. AND .. i can view the birds from it .. honey hunk and i have a morning ritual .. of having coffee and conversation on the back porch and watching the birds and revelling in the forest that surrounds us. cathy darlin .. i didn't know your dad had surgery .. glad he is mending well! will you be open today? i was thinking of roaming to your farm .. if not .. i can come tomorrow. xo True Friends * Frannie HEAR MY STORIES come, visit my: "GATHERING ROOM" .. http://freedomvalleyfarm.blogspot.com adopt a 'rag-chile' http://sistermercysfoundlinhome.blogspot.com treasures .. new and olde .. up for adoption: http://mudpiemanormercantile.blogspot.com
cathy cobblestone	Posted - Apr 07 2008 : 06:21:18 AM Mornin' Frannie, Your yard looks great - was the weather not absolutely splendid yesterday? Looks like another "fantabulous" one today - headed to the greenhouse right now. Thanks for talking about daddy's flower lift. He is recovering well from his shoulder surgery and has started blacksmithing again. I know he is anxious to get busy. Have fun in the sun today! Your place is an absolute gem - peaceful and beeeaUUUUtiful! Cathy www.cobblestonefarms.blogspot.com Today is a gift, live it!
lisamarie508	Posted - Apr 07 2008 : 01:45:48 AM Frannie, your grass is so green and cushy-looking. I'll bet it's soft enough to lay on without anything underneath you. I really like your bird feeders on the pole. The one you're going to plant wildflowers and sunflowers around? I like that idea so much, I just might put one of those in my back yard. Then, the seeds that the birds drop won't matter if they're falling in a wildflower/sunflower bed. It'll just be more of the same sprouting up! Thanks for the new idea.
