Good morning sweet ladies,
Do you know that it makes a difference what we say? This weekend I received an adorable card (Mary Jane Farm card) with a 3 page letter in it and sunflower seeds and hibiscus seeds.......... (just for me) so I can start some seeds and think spring? It was from a lady that had been in Katrina's path. It ruined everything in their HOME. Here she had all this sadness happen and she thought of ME? I can't imagine the suffering the people went through. She said she used to buy my jumper and doll patterns when we sold them. In every pattern I would write a letter.......thanking the ladies for buying our pattern and then also about what was happening on the farm. I had so many ladies that would stick a note in their orders saying the first thing they would do when they opened up the pattern was to read "their letter". Always tickled me that they would even like. The letter my friend wrote was so encouraging. I guess it made me think........what do I write. Encouraging things? It also made me think about the the things I say. I will be reflecting on that today.
It is going to be 60 today.........can't wait!!!!!!! Will go to church this morning and then come home and look around my garden. It will be a good day! So much better then all the cold that we have been having!!!!!!!!! Still snow on the ground.........the sun will be out today............it won't be here for long.
Love this verse.
While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter........... Genesis 8:22
Please leave a comment also on this post just to get other ladies see there is an interest! Thank you...... they can also then come to your blog, if they would like.
God Bless you today and have a wonderful SONday!!!!!!!!
Oh and thank you for the donations.............we are over $700.00......can you believe it? Some have written and said they would like to give but at this time can't. It is okay........I know what it is like. Just want you to know that you are just sooooooo precious to my family!!!!!!!
Hugs from my farm to your HOME,
Linda
I have not participated in a blog swap so far but would truly find this fun. I have not even ordered any seed yet and will be sorry if I do not do it soon. It will be easy to add an extra packet or two. Of coarse we cannot plant until May and not until close to the end of May here in Michigan so I guess that is why I have not been in a hurry but this post makes me excited to think about it.
ReplyDeleteI would love to do this! I don't see the e-mail link anywhere! :(
ReplyDeleteI think this is a wonderful idea Linda! I will email you with my address so I can join. I think it would be an awesome way to share and maybe make a new friend. I have all my seeds bought and am dreaming of the day when I can get outside and "dig in the dirt" again.
ReplyDeleteLove ya, Sue K
Love the idea of seed swap, Linda! I too can't wait to get outside in the garden. We are having warmer days now in the 60's so hope it will stay warm and I can get out and dig in dirt soon. Having a beautiful day today with sunshine.
ReplyDeleteI will be looking forward to seed swap.
Blessings ~ xoxo
Hi, Linda: You are not going to believe this but just yesterday I mailed a pack of seeds to my siser-in-love for her biethday. On the package was written "Grandmother's Cut Flower Garden." Also, my friend lost her 45-year old daughter on Christmas Eve, leaving 3 children to raise; I sent her a letter which included seed for "Dwarf Lemon Drop" marigolds in memory of Lisa. Both packets came from Botanical Interests Seed Catalog. I hope they both love getting the seeds as much as I will love getting mine thanks to you. Love, Mary S.

Oh a day late! Just today I found your lovely website and when I read about the seed exchange, I immediately thought of the datil pepper seeds I harvested when making some delicious hot datil sauce I canned as Christmas presents. Datils are similar in strength to habaneros but have a sweeter, fruitier flavor to cook with or make sauce or pepper vinegar. My plant originated from harvested seeds a cousin sent me. Anybody want some?
ReplyDeleteMarty please leave me your address at prairieflowerfarm@gmail.com. put spring in the subject. I had another lady sign up this morning. That will work great! Thank you! So nice to meet you and yes I would like some seeds. Email and I will send you my address also! This is going to be soooo fun for sure!
ReplyDeleteHi girls! Today is the day we are going to find out who our ladies are!!!! So excited I am!!!!!!!!!!
I missed the exchange but love you just the same! Anne
