Nature's BEAUTY Flourishes...

If you truly love Nature,

you'll find beauty

everywhere.

- Van Gogh

Well, you know it's summer here in Kentucky...
 it's harvest time in the gardens,
 as well as the road side & neighboring fields!

AND... Queen Anne's Lace is NO exception... OR
might I say... 'Wild Carrot'!
I absolutely LOVE the name 'Wild Carrot'
for some reason... Mr. McGregor & Benjamin Rabbit
  waffles through my mind as I view
this BELOVED flower!

There are fields of 'Wild Carrot'... here in the country
these days!  The harvest has been PLENTIFUL...
which makes for a bountiful autumn of dried
floral's to be offered online & through
the upcoming shows!

THANK YOU, for allowing time to visit with me this evening...
I look SO forward to spending more time with each of you!

BLESSED evening... LOVELY friends!

Simplicity...

SIMPLICITY 

is about

subtracting the obvious 

and adding 

the MEANINGFUL.

- John Maeda 

There's NOTHING like a freshly cut
hydrangea stem... especially
when it's a 'Blue Nikko' blossom
filled to it's fullest!

HAPPY Summer, lovely folks!

ROSE talk...

The point is to turn your grief into love.
The roses are helping you find grace.
- Holly Lynn Payne

Momma's rose is blooming... ONLY once this season,
have I found myself to gather up enough strength
to take in the BEAUTY & to soak in the
 fragrance of SWEETNESS!

The multiple visits, daily to Momma's,
 throughout the summer months, was enchanted by the
GRACEFULNESS of this one, particular rose!

A rose that once greeted you at my Mother's drive...
now is planted at an ole' wheat bin near the greenhouse
here on the property!

Oh, how I miss my PRECIOUS... Momma & the love she
SO graciously offered through the wisdom she
bestowed upon the lives of others!

With a relocation to the farm...
her garden's thrive today, with ALL the love within me!
No, matter where I go... her garden will follow!


THANK YOU, for sharing
my morning of rose talk...

The 'RULES' of Life...

RULES...
R there such a thing, 
one has to sit & ponder the thought!
~Pamela Anthony 

Pondering the thought of 'RULES'...
you may say... why, YES... they are to life as air is to breathing!

BUT, throughout life... often times than NOT, there
have been those imaginary 'RULES' that filled my mind with
what I thought was the gospel, you know...
those 'RULES' that came from everyone else's view, opinions
OR tradition!  And, I JUST assumed... not wanting to create OR
make a fuss... allowed THEIR 'RULES' to have an impact on how
I lived my life OR reacted to certain circumstances!

Well... with each passing year of '43', there has been
learning curves, suffering pain & raw grief that has ALMOST destroyed
everything that was used in my creation from God, my heart & soul!

It's brought me to a point, a chapter... better yet... a season!
A season, in which... would not have BLOSSOMED without the past years of
what was JUST described, NOTHING I would hope upon my worst enemy
(heaven forbid if I have any)!  BUT, what the devil meant for harm, God
brought forth good in order to bring about my current being!

Therefore... I've claimed VICTORY over
those so-called 'RULES' that kept me bound with restrictions & doubt
for SO many years!  

There is & are GLORIFIED reason's for my life today...
a life JUST not of existing, BUT, of a life worth living X 10!

Not, ONLY did I share these words for me, BUT most importantly
for someone else, whom may have OR may be there at this VERY moment...
to believe & know, without a shadow of a doubt... YOU TOO ARE WORTH SAVING!

God created YOU & I for greatness... it's up to YOU & I to claim that GREATNESS!
He NEVER said the cross would be light... it carries weight, a weight worth
carrying... throughout the season's of life!

NOW, pick it up & GO forth to your GREATNESS, my friend!


JUST in case your wondering... 

Why... I paired these photos up with this testimony...
WELL... they are apart of my evolving... my life without the following
of 'RULES' from others, from the past of pleasing others!

I've been on the road since September 2014 now... following my heart & WHEREVER
the road may lead!  The opportunities have surpassed ANYTHING of my
understanding & continues to bless my soul!  My goal is for other's
to see JESUS through what I have to offer along the path of road trips!

It's NOT by my hand, BUT by His grace & strength!

Where Days R Well Spent...

I had rather be on my farm

than be an emperor of the world.

- George Washington

The 1st day of June, dawned EARLY...
here at the farm!  There's SO much to be had within
the next, few weeks with upcoming
deadlines, project completions & a GRAND
show in the fix.

Of course... the farm duties are repeat
actions, NO matter the moment, everyday
chores that wait for no one!  SO, I've
been REALLY trying to capture those
EARLY morning dew drops
between my toes, as I tip through
the grass to start the day!

The 'ladies' find it quite welcoming
for the EARLY morning greetings,
from inside the coops, now!

For the days past... consisted of them
WELCOMING me outside the back gate
to the porch, bickering frantically that
I had forgotten them!

Oh, how they ADORE me now... :)

The mornings bring SUCH beauty
as the stroll takes me toward the coops!

The 'Annabelle' Hydrangea's... are scattered,
tucked & nestled throughout the gardens!
They are now, JUST a memory in sight... though,
while giving way to other 'Hydrangea' varieties
to make a show!

As previously mentioned... 
I'm in complex preparation for one of the
GRANDEST shows/pop-up fairs in the South!
'Beehind Thyme Farm & Garden'
will be attending as a vendor, as well as
being a guest speaker for both days there
at the event!

Be sure to mark your calendars for one,
fabulous time of shopping, gathering idea's,
eating & ENJOYING the talented hymns
that will be offered!
'City Farmhouse Pop-Up Fair'
June 19th & 20th

With the date moving at a rapid speed & time
seems to have been cut in half...
I STILL long to offer EACH of YOU
 a glimpse into the days that are WELL spent 
here at the farm!

Hope to see YOU... soon!
BLESSED day...
