Showers of Blessings!





Looks like this lil' frog has had a belly full of rain as he sits in our front yard!
I love a good rain and right now we are having tremendous rains...with some places flooding. Our ponds are good and full which is always a welcome sign and the newly plowed fields are soaking in the rain. I hope each of you are having a wonderful day wherever you may be.






With a day at home and some of the housework out of the way what better way to spend the afternoon....than in my sewing room. This little penny rug is just plain and simple just a couple of barn cats and a primitive barn I drew up and appliqued onto a piece of dyed linen then I added a wool backing with some pennies around the border. Just got to love a rainy day at home...where you receive showers of blessings.

Happy Trails....

Happy Trails





What a surprise! Today we had a beautiful day here on the plains of Oklahoma. It's hard to believe we had snow flurries just last week. Don't you just love when spring makes it's grand appearance.







Evening skies bring huge cotton clouds and what better time to take a break and head on out for a walk. Oh the country life is for me. I thought I would take a walk out to the back pond...soon I will be taking some wildflower seeds back there to scatter about but I'm sure we are due for more cold days but for now we'll just enjoy this day!
















I should have took my fishing pole.... perhaps next time. So with a close of another day put a lil' song in your heart ~ * ~ * ~ * ~

Happy trails to you, until we meet again.
Happy trails to you, keep smilin' until then.
Who cares about the clouds when we're together?
Just sing a song and bring the sunny weather.
Happy trails to you, 'till we meet again.

Some trails are happy ones,
Others are blue.
It's the way you ride the trail that counts,
Here's a happy one for you.

Happy trails to you, until we meet again.
Happy trails to you, keep smilin' until then.
Who cares about the clouds when we're together?
Just sing a song and bring the sunny weather.

Happy trails to you, 'till we meet again.

A New Adventure

Well my daughter Jenn and I have joined Lemon Poppy Seeds. We opened up a store called Primitives by the Light of the Moon. We are offering our needle punch items, small hooked items, and wool applique. There are a lot of talented folks within the Lemon Poppy Seed Shoppe. We picked Primitives by the Light of the Moon because it seems as though we are up by the light of the moon making our primitives. Just not enough hours in the day! We hope you will find a little time to stop by for a visit soon. You will find a link at the bottom of the page!

Spring ~ Tyme Down on The Farm




I just love this new lil' calf. The markings are so unusual with the white socks, white tip tail, white face and lil' belly. Just too cute!







We stopped for a few minutes on Sunday afternoon to enjoy the warm days we are having here in Oklahoma. Our lil' grandson "Sloan and Grandpa Danny" are my two cool guys! Sloan turned 5 months old on Sunday and is getting so big.






Well normally I avoid the camera like the plague but when it comes to being a proud Grandma I couldn't resist....







Danny and Lil' Dan have been busy breaking up the ground getting it ready for planting some bermuda sprigs. Hopefully they will get it in before the spring rains start.







This is our farmhouse...we have been so very blessed. We have another farmhouse that our daughter Jenn and her hubby JJ live in near our welding business. Our other home was built way back before indoor plumbing. Of course over the years it has been updated many times and is a good ol' farmhome. I sure like this new home....no more skunks crawling under the house during the middle of the night!





We just added this shop out back of the house for Danny to work on tractors and such. Of course I have a few tricycles and Sloan's wagon in there. All the boys have to have their toys!






I just happened to see a new calf being born on Sunday and grabbed my camera. It wasn't long before the new lil' one was being encouraged by all the others to get up.






Within just a few minutes after some coaxing this lil' fella made his way up!



With all the new life and ground breaking going on spring should be just around the corner. Hope you have enjoyed a little bit of our neck of the woods!



Happy Trails to You....Ginger
