We’ve all heard how important it is to eat a diet high in roughage. Likewise, “roughaging” (spending time outdoors) is essential to our mental health. Even if it’s a settee on the porch, we need it, gotta have it. I aim to be the reason you pulled your bedding out the back door last night.
Winnie Nielsen says: What a great photo of this handsome and beautiful Hawk.
Hi MaryJane– It is another day of Farmgirl on the Loose( yes I keep my pin with the logo on my backpack!!!) at the Atlanta airport. Today I am bound for Oklahoma to visit my Folk Art friend who is having a big Open House this weekend highlighting her new art path and name. It should be lots of fun to hang around people who are so creative. I have the latest MJF magazine to read as I wait for my next flight! This Farmgirl is headed for the prairie where cattle graze with oil rigs and the wind blows across our Midwest. I need me some cowgirl boots to better fit in!! Lol!
MaryJane says: You do need some cowgirl boots. The next time you’re here, we better go shopping for a pair:)
Lisa Von Saunder says: Love hawks and the call they make always gives me shivers of pleasure
Winnie Nielsen says: These flowers remind me of spring Crocus. They are beautiful and apparently tasty according to the tiny butterfly!
MaryJane says: Actually, they are crocus. Fall crocus. Good morning Winnie!
CJ Armstrong says: Beautiful and they do look like spring! I’ve never seen fall crocus!
CJ
Lisa Von Saunder says: Are these fall crocus or saffron crocus ( also blooms in the fall, you pick the stamens which are the saffron )
MaryJane says: I don’t know because they pre-date my ownership of this place.
Elaine Holmquist says: Fall crocus are where saffron comes from. At today’s prices, grow your own! 🙂
Winnie Nielsen says: What a sweet little bird!!
So far, we have only had a few bands of rain and some light winds. Our biggest threat will comet this afternoon when the storm moves up towards St. Augustine and Jacksonville. The Vigil continues.
Marion O'Neill says: I love birds! What a cute little bird. Good luck Winnie Nielsen. My thoughts and prayers are with all the people the hurricane is affecting. Hope you are safe. 🏖

Here’s how:
MaryJane will post a photo and a description of a prop and its cost along with a few details as to its condition here: https://shop.maryjanesfarm.org/MaryJanesCurations. It’s a playful way to be the new owner of a little bit of farm herstory.
The last of Summer’s delicate flowers still going strong. So pretty!
Hydrangeas still, barely. Bet it feels good to be home.
