Ticks, Asparagus and KEEP OUT!

Trying to get use to this rural living!  Snakes and Ticks might do me in!  Since the winter was so mild the tick population appears to be rather large.  Yuck, yuck and double yuck!




Look, farmer Pete can grow asparagus without even planting a crop.  




We transplanted some of my favorite perennials on the back of our land.  I have hosta and lavender from our home in Grand Rapids. This photo shows the Rose of Sharon my mom gave me many years ago.   




This is my mess of baskets that we laid on their side so water wouldn't freeze and bust them.  





 Unfortunately, someone helped themselves to my wire baskets and a few of my terra cotta pots.  These baskets are at least a 1/4 mile off the road.  I couldn't believe someone stole them.  I'm not a KEEP OUT kind of girl, but I placed Keep Out, and No Trespassing signs down one side of our property line.

  2. Well the nerve of someone to steal your stuff! Such beautiful property and I can't to see your lovely home sitting on it. Looking forward to blessing your land, but I will be wearing my tall muck boots-those darn ticks love my ankles! Praying for all you need to move forward.

  3. I hear you on the ticks! We don't even have woods or high grasses and the little buggers seem to make their way into our path.
