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.

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.
