Again, I just love saying your...Good Morning Linda,<br />Again, I just love saying your name because it reminds me of my own Mama~actually the two of you are so alike! You both just ooze of love and Jesus! Anna got a hot bubble bath last night and most of the purple is off of her now!LOL Now she, along with all of us, just has blue finger tips from picking blueberries yesterday~Oh my how much fun! Squeal, you have 3 more of those gorgeous turcoise chairs and a table! That must make for happy table setting!! I do love how you use one in the garden though too! I have an old chair that I painted turcoise, it's on my front porch with some happy gerber daisies on it right now, but I might just drag it off to the garden today, and as soon as the hay field is cut I think I'll get a picture of it out there like the way yours looks~Oh my, I'm a romantic dreamer!<br />Thanks for the tip re: the tobacco~I know what you mean about feeling funny while purchasing it~I think I'll send Handsome Hubby out on that mission! :-)<br />Your fence is coming along wonderful, you both have done such a great job. here is a pat on the back, did you feel it? It's so sweet how the two of you work as a couple~so loving! Truly the way the Lord has meant for it to be!<br />Your crop looks great~Isn't the Lord amazing??? It never gets dull to see new life coming up out of the ground! Your tomatoes are blushing just lovely~Wink<br /><br />I better go for now~Mammaw and Pappaw have the babies for the day so I can get some more weeding done in the garden.<br />Love CarissaCarissa Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07063546287896107179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6551696592048647882.post-92145089387111786322010-06-29T04:36:16.249-05:002010-06-29T04:36:16.249-05:001970's are the vintage years?!

It seems as if I've missed alot! I loved reading about your duck and chicken eggs. And how your chickens make their nice little round nests in the straw. <br />I love the way they do that!<br />I have 3 "teenage" hens in the hen house and they like to peck and scratch around in the nest boxes so they end up making a mess with all the straw. It seems like the adult hens are getting a bit irritated with the disruption but they climb in there and rearrange it all over again. <br /><br />and I love the garden vase you made with the Bible verse tag. So beautiful hanging there!<br /><br />Thank you for sharing such sweet thoughts with us. You have blessed my day!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6551696592048647882.post-16962516584359565422010-06-28T22:03:18.377-05:002010-06-28T22:03:18.377-05:00Hey Linda,

Please let me know ASAP :)<br />On a more realistic note, THANK YOU for the apron pattern!! I just can't wait to make it, as I love the vintage look and I think it will be kinder to my short-waisted-maternal figure.

My marigolds and daisies from seeds didn't take well either. Please pray this Tropical Storm Alex decides to fizzle out, I don't wish it on anyone. Ike hit hard two years ago and it's just not a fun experience, not to mention insurance goes up whether you have a claim or not. Thank you for your prayers. <br />Jeannie SchlittJeanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17303858483355947503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6551696592048647882.post-8601512268963667052010-06-28T16:47:16.269-05:002010-06-28T16:47:16.269-05:00Love your blog - theres so much to see on your far...Love your blog - theres so much to see on your farm and it looks so beautiful.

Hopefully the tobacco water works better than that. Did boiling the tobacco make your kitchen smell like tobacco? If not, I may try your method! <br />I have read that squash bugs don't like marigolds, so I plan to plant some of those too.Lorus!https://www.blogger.com/profile/04689481671367710550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6551696592048647882.post-68282775093466338542010-06-28T09:44:46.630-05:002010-06-28T09:44:46.630-05:00Hi Linda,
