If you have followed my blog prior to this post, you know that I had a pretty bad summer for my flowers in 2011 and killed almost everything. It’s been quite a lot of hard work and planning to get back (almost) to where I was before the fiasco! I wanted to share some of my 2012 blossoms with you while they’re still pretty.
And last but not least:
IT’S THE GREAT PUMPKIN, CHARLIE BROWN!!
She already weighs over 30 pounds and still growing!
I'm a country girl from the western part of Virginia in a small community of New Castle/Craig County. I've lived in Craig all my life-eighteen years with my parents and siblings and forty + years with my wonderful husband.
We have two children, a boy and a girl, and two grandchildren, all of which we love very much. We live on a 500 acre+ farm that has been in my husbands family for over 200 years. We are raising beef cattle, chickens, rabbits and a couple dogs.. We grow pretty much all we eat or harvest from the farm and I can't imagine living anywhere else.
I love to create, craft, quilt, read, write, decorate, crochet, candlewick, bake, bow hunt, cook, garden, farm animals and walking/hunting in the woods. I love sharing our home with family and friends.
I hope you enjoy the posts that I enter on my blog and hopefully will be helpful and/or fun to all that read it.

Excerpts from a day in the life of Howling Duck Ranch.com weblog
This is the blog for our little farm in Skagit county. Here we have Shetland sheep and Nigerian Dwarf goats. In addition we have donkeys, llamas, cattle, pigs, chickens, geese, ducks and peafowl. The blog describes the weekly activities here.
This site is about my life as a farmgirl, wife, mother and grandmother and the things I love to do. I've been married to the same man that I love for 40+ years. We have two beautiful adult children and one granddaughter. We pretty much live off of our farm by raising our food or hunting for it. My blog is a day to day walk-through of our life.

Thank you! I’ve had the opposite occur. This summer I lost many of my flowers because of the drought and heat. Glad someone had positive results.

I killed everything I had last summer using weed n feed. Thought I was helping the flowers and didn’t consider them weeds. We had an average of 1 1/2″ – 3″ of rain this summer with only about three really hot weeks.
