We need to find meaning. We need to be useful. We need to know that who we are matters. I give, you give, we all give.
BB king says: I do so love dragonfllies and with the stream and waterfall on my farmette, we have lots of them. They do get tangled in my Deer netting fence and I am always setting them free.

I was just putting the finishing touches on my June is National Dairy Month swap at MJF, and I am reminded to wish you a wonderful month as well! Do you and your family celebrate this month doing anything special? For my swap, I put together some things for an old fashioned Ice Cream Social and made a cute kitchen towel sporting a fun ruffle and Yo-Yo flowers using your cow fabric from the Milk Cow Kitchen line. Now I want to make myself one and have ice cream sundaes to celebrate all of you wonderful dairy cow farmers out there! “Ice Cream, Ice Cream, we all scream for Ice Cream!!”
MaryJane says: Gosh, wouldn’t I love to drop off a gallon of Miss Daisy’s milk for you to use to make ice cream. Miss Daisy wishes you a wonderful month also.
Winnie Nielsen says: And wouldn’t I LOVE to have a gallon of my sweet Miss Daisy’s milk to make ice cream! That would be totally awesome, not to mention creamy and delicious.
Winnie Nielsen says: Hmmmmm, I have no idea what this is, but I am thinking it will be beautiful with that orange!!
Hi MaryJane, we just got home from a visit to Asheville, NC. Oh my how I love those Blue Ridge Mts !! We also had time to go up on the Blue Ridge Parkway and I found a book at the visitors station about the history of the Parkway that was started under FDR in 1935 with the Civilian Conservation Corps. When I see those structures that are still standing today and the entire parkway, I am in awe at what a grand and important idea FDR had to create these spaces that are still so beautiful and loved today. FDR was a true leader! Of course we both know that behind him was our girl, Eleanor, who pushed and inspired him to do hard things for our country.
Winnie Nielsen says: Perfection!!
