Farm Girl Garden Tools I'm pretty basic when it comes to weeding the garden. I have this short handled hand-hoe that was my mother-in-laws that works wonders to dig up tough weeds. My knee pad and gloves complete the ensemble of farm girl tools. After tilling the rows, I spend a lot of time on my knees with my little hand-hoe getting out those stubborn weeds in between the plants. While I'm on my knees, I might as well say a prayer or two for friends and family!    Gardening is my number one favorite thing to do. I love the solitude of early morning work outside. Now, when I was a kid, gardening was torture!   Those looong rows of green beans that my mom grew were never ending!!!! But I guess with age comes appreciation for digging in the dirt!    Finally taking a break in the shade!    Enjoying the beauty!   My Garden © Marie Church As I look out to my garden

Meet our two new 'babies'! And they called it "Puppy Love"! Our daughter and new husband's dog Mekah had puppies and  we just couldn't resist!!! They are Boxers (with a bit of Rhodesian Ridgeback). Adorable! In fact all family members took all seven puppies! It has been a puppy fiasco here on the farm! We have had the joy of 'puppy-sitting', on numerous occasions, the siblings while family members went on vacation!  It has been a comedy movie in the making! I swear I'm talking in my sleep...."go potty"..."no bite"! Puppy training is intense...but rewarding. We love you Bishop and DeDe.... AND Lola, Chloe, Grimm, LeLo & Little Bit!
