All Natural??


One of my neighbors finally raised her prices from .99 cents a dozen. Her new sign looks nice and rustic..



I haven't shown you images of the windmills in a while. They are all completed and the drives and fields have been cleaned of debris and the planting has begun around them. They aren't turning yet, so no power is being generated. It appears that a second wave of installations will begin in the fall after the crops are down. 66 Unit are up................. the next group will be 100..

We are not getting one as we hoped though...... it would need to be 750 feet from the house and 350 feet from the barns.............. We just aren't big enough! Sigh!!!

Tree Peony


Nothing quite compares to the sent of a peony! And when they get this large and are off the ground in a tree it's even better. I so need to grow one of these beauties.. the bloom in about 5 1/2 inches across!!! Wow!!!
