Your garden is coming along nicely and I love how you use the bricks. In the picture with the fern hanging on the porch...my porch lights are just like yours!! LOL I love them. We are going to screen in our side porch soon. It is what I wanted for my birthday/Mother's Day. My s-i-l will be doing it for me. I'm so excited!<br />Maura, your home and surroundings are so lovely. I'd be spending quite a few mornings enjoying the beauty around me if I were in your place. :)❁Velma ~Down Our Country Road❁https://www.blogger.com/profile/00688975970842662227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5672117109679216195.post-65331305596596230382012-05-27T09:52:06.928-05:002012-05-27T09:52:06.928-05:00I just discovered your blog . . . oh my goodness ....I just discovered your blog . . . oh my goodness . . . the photography alone is out of this world perfect.

Your yard, garden, and building are so beatuiful. As much as I love your garden, picket fench and the bunkhouse sign, I have to say my favorite shot is of your clothes line - funny I know. But it just seems so homey and "summer-like" to me. I really need to get my own clothes line so I can enjoy a few moments in my own back yard. Any suggestions on where I could find a similar one?Robin Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10560952419735450648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5672117109679216195.post-68213452180003452632012-05-23T09:09:27.746-05:002012-05-23T09:09:27.746-05:00Maura, hearing about & looking at your beautif...Maura, hearing about & looking at your beautiful farm makes me long for one of my own even more. It truly must be Heaven on earth. You have probably tried this, but I'll still mention it about your rusty water. There is a product called "Iron Out" you can get it at Lowe's or most any hardware store. My mom swears by it to clean the rust rings from her tub, toilet, sinks, & even out of whites. I told my friend from South Carolina who happens to be from Manhattan, KS about it & she loves the stuff. Just a note though...it will bleach out colors.Sherrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08801685066039425476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5672117109679216195.post-75969166641931065682012-05-22T22:52:10.929-05:002012-05-22T22:52:10.929-05:00It's all looking wonderful, Maura!
