Five on Friday

I have just came across Amy at Love Made My Home Five On Friday.
Here in her own words of what it is:
Five On Friday is a way to share Five things - on a Friday!  They can be connected, or not.  You could choose to share five quotes and say why they mean something to you, five pictures from your garden, five favorite flowers, five cakes, five anything that you like!  

I read that and realize this was something I felt was a wonderful idea of sharing a little something without have to fill a whole post. There are a lot of things here on the farm that I don't feel I have enough to write about. Partly because I'm not a writer and its hard at times to do. This is a lot like how at times the posting of pictures I've done on Saturday but with a little narrative.  

Amy has a link up for bloggers to post there Five On Friday and for us to read and see what others have contributed.

So here is my first attempt.


One - Over this pass week we have had some unusual amount of rain, here it is July one of dryer months and we received 5 inches in 3 days. That's a lot. 



Two -  With all that rain, the seeds I planted thrive in the straw bales. The bush beans are doing good. I do see thou there are a few spaces I'll need to reseed.


Three - Now not all the veggies in the garden cared for all that rain. My onions did not get very big this year. We have had a wet and cool spring and the onions just didn't get what they like. Then with all this moisture I had to pull them in fear that they could rot like my cabbage did.


Four - The tomatoes are digging it. Check out all those green tomatoes. I am weary that they might be infected by a soil borne virus cause from all the rain.



Five - I little beauty from outside to grace the inside of my home. Nothing I relish more than what nature offers.

  2. Hello. It was so nice to read your blog today. Can you send some of your rain to southern California, please? Your garden looks lovely. My tomatoes look the same as yours and we haven't had any rain. I hope you're having a fabulous weekend.

  3. Welcome! I'm fairly new at Five on Friday myself. Loved your five. That hay bale gardening idea is awesome! Your black-eyed susans are so pretty. Hope you get some relief from the rain soon.

  4. The flowers looked beautiful, a real delight and I love how you have decorated the vase. Fingers crossed the tomatoes are not infected they certainly look good.

  5. The rain has really been a mixed blessing this year hasn't it? I guess we just have to take the good with the bad. Hopefully your tomatoes will all be good and not sick.

Welcome friends to share a thought, I enjoy reading them and will try my best to reply back by email most of the time. But if you do not hear back it's because you are a no-reply blogger.

How to Make a Portable Design Wall

I had wanted to get a portable design wall to take to retreats but did not want to pay the price. Looked at various pins on pinterest and took ideas from more than one to come up with my verison. It worked out great and only cost a fraction of the price. The PVC pipes, joints and 2 yards of felt cost under $22.00 My design wall is 4' x 4' which stands approximately 5 1/5' tall. For this size need 2 - 10ft length of 3/4" PVC pipe for the frame and 4ft of 1" PVC pipe for the feet Cut the 3/4" PVC into 4 - 4' section                                                                                       2 - 1' section              Cut the 1"  PVC into 4 - 1' section        ...

Yarn Along 2/20/13 Spoon Pin Doily

It's snowing here and I know some of you are tired of snow but here we will take the moisture any way we can get it. Plus it just gives me a reason to stay in and work on some of my projects. In this picture I'm not sure if you can make it out but in the background there are some wild turkeys that hang around the house sometime, just  chilling This project I'm working on is Spool Pin Doilies.   I had never heard of them before until Bonnie Hunter had mentioned it on her blog . She a had a viewer send her one for her sewing machine along with a pattern. I did not like the pattern but loved the idea so I decided to make up my own version. I wanted a more simple, smaller and fuller doily. So I tried different thread sizes to get one that I like. (From left to right) I tried sock yarn, which I'll redo because I think I like that look. Heavy weight crochet thread, nope too big Bamboo yarn, I like it. Looks good on my Kenmore. Pearl c...
