Farmhouse Friday - Week 33 Moving the Outhouse

 


My husband built this outhouse for my customers to use when we had events and sales here.  It was really cute inside and out.  Our neighbors have a farm stand The Veggie Barn  When I had my rummage sale back in June, I asked them if they wanted it.  Now that the hornet's nests have been taken care of, the HOT days are not as many in a row, Chuck came over to get it.


Well that idea didn't work....


O.k. let's rethink this....



Hey...don't run my man over.....ahaha



Off it went, down the road....

They made it all the way to their farm, but pushing it off was another story.  Tracie wants me to share "please don't use this as an outhouse, it will be for tools near the garden."  



Other happenings here this week....

We had our 4H potluck, graduatation night.  

We went to Bay Beach to celebrate Lauren's birthday.

My husband, Al, has been working on replanting the hay field.



 


Field plowed, dragged, rolled, soil tested, limed, ready to plant with seeds that will grow in our soil.  

Now all we need is a soft rain.  We woke up to that early this morning.  Yay!


Here is a drone photo of the wildflower field.  It is the square part, as the old horse fence is still up.  We are making plans to add another planting area and mowed section for my scooter to be able to drive out there for next year.  

  


I had a package of FREE seeds and I planted them in this old crock.  What lovely morning glories!  


This was a hanging basket we bought from my friend's greenhouse, The Flower Trough, LLC I put it under the windmill as it wanted to climb.  Climb it has and I love it.  


This is Lady, one of our dogs.  She normally is a "daddy's girl" and actually would get jealous of me.  Oh, if Al would hug or kiss me, she would growl and howl.  Something happened this Summer, as she has become my little shadow.  I'm not sure if she understands my limitations due to my IBM issues and is babysitting me, or if she feels sorry for me...hehehe....she even follows me into the bathroom.  When I go upstairs, here she comes, when I go outside, there she is next me my scooter, if I work in my building, there she is laying under my table.  I'm not sure which, or why, but I'm liking it!  

We have been invited to be part of a thrifting bus tour.  Grand Ave Artifactory is planning the tour and will be stopping by our little shop on Sunday late afternoon.  

Thanks for following along.  I hope you have a good weekend and a productive next week.  

Blessings from Ringle, Wisconsin.

Farmhouse Friday Week 32 - Wild Flower Walk and Honey

 I've been trying to cross off things from my bucket list.  I've always wanted to do things like this, only I never took the time.  Now, I need to do them, while I still can.  Thanks Al for helping me make this happen.  





























It was a beautiful night sharing my wild flowers.

We had success this year with our flowhive and bees










I had a full week of blessings - flowers, pollinators, honeybees and honey.
