Yesterday, before we cut the lawn, I cut some weeds (Queen Anne's Lace) and arranged them in a vintage blue Ball jar...some of the other plants were trimmed back as well...
We did not cut the Passionflower vines...the flowers are food for the bumblebees and the fruit, called Maypop, serves as a host for many butterflies. Besides, it's so beautiful and exotic...
There are hundreds of watermelons growing in the field...
The corn continues to grow...
I have a new riding lawnmower, and now cutting grass is fun!
A new roof is being put on the house...black metal...it looks SO nice! The farmhouse originally had a metal roof, but it was replaced with a shingle roof years ago. The shingle roof was in bad shape and had started to leak, so we decided to go back with the original style of the house, and do a metal roof.
It was ONE YEAR ago that I purchased this farm. So many things have been accomplished and completed, and there is still more to do. I guess there will always be SOMETHING to do, but the big projects are winding down. Of course my biggest project, the kitchen, hasn't even begun! Oh well, maybe next year for that...
