Wild Turkey Visit

We got a visit from some Male Turkey's today.
They were trying to impress the Ladies...I don't think it worked:)

Organic Salad

Today's lunch looked so pretty I had to snap a picture :)
Organic Spinach & Kale from the garden, Organic Carrots & Microgreens, plus our Johnny-jump-ups and Pansies. Perfectly edible with a sweet bite to them~

Homestead

The Columbines are popping up all over my side garden and the Geraniums and Catmints are spilling over the steps~



Here's a better picture of the old side steps~ I love the moss growing on the rocks too!





And the Vegetable Garden so far~ It's amazing how it will transform within a few months....I'll post the progress~





I took a stroll down "Buttercup Path"
My hubby mows paths for us to walk in and this year our fields are Filled with Buttercups! The pictures don't do them justice! They smell absolutely Wonderful while you walk these paths too! Here's some pics I took today~







This is the path I took into the lower field. This is where we made our new Pumpkin Patch! I'm sooo excited to see all the Pumpkins (& watermelons, & cantelopes & squash)





Doesn't look like much now~ but just wait until October!!

Here's a picture of my favorite Apple tree. Half of it is missing and still it gives us tons of apples that we feed to the deer~




It's a Beautiful Thing :)

Lavender Gift Baskets


Everyone Loves Lavender & my Lavender Gift Basket is a popular Gift! I ship them around the country and make Lots of People :)


Think I'll come up with a New Gift Basket for Father's Day~ They like getting Yummy smelling Gifts in the Mail too~ I'll have to include my new Fudge Brownie Candle and Butterscotch Bundt Cakes........Hmmm This is sounding more like a PMS Gift Basket!



Aren't these Garden Markers Adorable!! Besides sticking them in my Potted plants, I use them in Gift Baskets, tied w/ Homespun on the Outside or tucked into a Gift Basket with Fresh Herbs~~~ Super Cute!
