There is so much here I don't know where to start...you have covered a lot of territory. First...I love your sweet animals...what a family you have. The dogs ....SO SWEET...stuck between the seats and I can't even imagine there's room to drive the car once they are all inside with you. Your flowers are gorgeous and I especially love your roses not only because they are so pretty and they must smell amazing but because of the sweet story that goes along with it. What a wonderful way to remember someone who obviously was so very special. JoJo is so handsome and your twin kitty's are so cute. You inspire me Melody with your fairy garden...gave me some good ideas for next Spring. Thank you for sharing all of these wonderful photos and I especially loved hearing about finding your old friend and seeing the photo of your "Mum" blowing out her birthday candles. Sounds like "LIFE IS GOOD" down on your farm. Hope you have a wonderful 4th of July and here's hoping we get a little sunshine up here in Maine for the weekend.

How great to have a 40 year old rose, such an heirloom. Hey, I thought my pups were big and wet... but yours are bigger and wetter! Great photos.

They remind me of the beginning of the Beatrix Potter movies...and I have always loved them but never had much luck with them. {sigh} So thanks for sharing yours! What a lot of fun you must have at your 'zoo' with all of those animals. And your fairy garden is adorable. I made one this year too. Just love them. I bet you would love some of my friends pottery. She does all kinds of fairy garden pottery. And I just love Agnes. So great you are keeping her alive. Do you live on the family farm, or did you inherit the rose?<br /><br />Cindy BeeBee Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15818958787610823509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8836272802074818050.post-83315956216346866472013-06-28T05:51:59.706-07:002013-06-28T05:51:59.706-07:00Computers are very handy (when they work properly)...Computers are very handy (when they work properly)~ They say you can find just about anything you seek on them.... apparently that is true! <br />Seems hard to believe that Mum's grow older... you just don't see it coming! :))))) <br />Thanks so much for stopping by!
