Trust your 4th was a blessing!
I know that I have not been able to post as much as I usually have done in the past. Life has been so busy here at Prairie Flower Farm. Mornings with my Lord.....prayer time.......run out to the garden and get things done there......chores to all the little chicks and big "Chicks"......building things.....I am so enjoying carpentry! I have been building some of my own things.....can't believe I am actually using a circular saw.
I built this little cage to go around Momma Duck who is sitting on 11 eggs. I built a simple frame and then covered it with mesh wire. It isn't anything fancy, but it will protect the Momma and her little ones from our farm cats. It can see things in my mind where I had never done that with building. Even have a little grasp on how to make what I would like in my mind now!!!!!! Do any of you do any carpentry? I can't wait to try building a greenhouse!
Jeremiah has been a real help on the farm. It's like a place of refuge for him. He is one of our adopted son's from Sterling College. He loves to come and work on the farm and has been a real blessing. We all built a deck by the fence that Vitaliy and I built. It is so nice to go out in the evening and just sit as a family!
My two momma guineas are sitting on their nest...... together some times at different times. There is one egg that has hatched....but I haven't seen the babies yet. I can hear peeping.....but I have not been able to see the baby yet. I can be patient!
My little pumpkins are growing! Love watching them as they get bigger. If you keep them watered they really grow fast! I will use a panty hose to hold up each pumpkin as it grows.
Look at the little ducklings! I made her the little house and it is going to protect them perfect. She either had them last night or this morning sometime. They are absolutely adorable!!!! I so love them! They are making the farm a very happy place.
Hope all is well with you!!!!!! It looks like we have a lot of new followers!!!!!!! Thank you for being a part of Prairie Flower Farm.......you have definitely been noticed!
How is your summer going? Busy?
Hugs from the farm,
Linda
I m enjoying a rare day off from work although I had to use my own vacation time! I had lots to do early so I am resting in the house away from the heat. Good to see you here and I know you are busy. Your sweet additions are always a joy to see. God is Good to you Linda! Enjoy your summer.
ReplyDeleteHey sweet Anne, so glad you got a vacation. I am sure you are soooooo enjoying it! God is good Anne......but I also have my crosses to carry......it has been a very hard time personally, but God is still on the throne.....and will perfect and finish His work.....in myself and my family! Some days are harder then others......love you, me
DeleteI've been busy as well. I noticed small tomatoes coming on a vine today. I need to get them in more sunlight and a bigger pot. That will happen this weekend, hydrangea as well. Off to get groceries and berries as well. Prayers for my daughter, Megan, that she will land a good job soon. Hugs and good weekend to u.:D
ReplyDeleteHi Becky, I was looking again today at the tomatoes.......I can hardly wait to make up some salsa! We had to cut down tree limbs on some of our trees that were shading my garden also! Prayers her way! Hugs, me
DeleteWe have had sooo much rain. Can't remember a wetter Spring and Summer. The LORD gives us what we need though. We have had about 7-8 inches this week.
ReplyDeleteGood to hear from you. GOD BLESS!!!
Hello Charlotte, wow that is a lot of rain!!!!!! You must need it!!!!!!! The Lord is good! God bless you also!!!!!!! Hugs from my farm to your home!!!!!!! me
DeleteHi Linda, your ducklings are so cute! Love your new deck and chair! Way too much rain here in WNC, French Broad river over it's banks, streets flooding, Biltmore Estate had a landslide and had to close yesterday, sure wish we could share some with the midwest!
ReplyDeleteHugs to you and your family, be safe!
Thank you cj! We are having so much fun with the new deck and family time! Last night we had so many of our family and college kids. We are enjoying it so much!!!!! I have heard their has been much rain....how scary on the landslide! We had those in Alaska!. We do need more rain for sure.

You are so sweet Linda!!!!!! It has been a very busy summer here. I have toooooo many things I want to get done before the summer is over. Plus the wedding!!!!!!! Oh my! Hugs and God bless you also! me
DeleteHow fortunate you are to have all the babies. As long as you hear "peeping" things are good. They will be worth the wait. Our baby sparrows have already flown the nest. Mama and Papa remain and great me throughout the day.
ReplyDeleteJuly is very busy in Ohio: VBS begins the 15th, so this week finalizes all the crafting preparations for 400 students. We've had quite a bit of rain in the last few weeks, so the vegetable garden needed serious attention with weeding, staking tomatoes, replanting, even harvesting (sweet peas, broccoli - what a delicious weekend it was :)
Thank you for sharing your blog, you are a joy to follow.
Hi Sweetie, Having a great summer, swimming in the pool with grandchildren, going to the lake, hoeing the garden and watching the veggie plants grow, cutting bouquets of my flowers to give away, cooking on the grill and making macaroni salad just like Mom did, and having time to love on my grandchildren. AND THEY STILL LOVE IT FROM GRANDMA! I am fighting the fibromyalgia, too. Hubby is happy and loves me....what more can I ask for? God's love? Got that!
