Farm Photos 2015
It all started when my parents decided to buy the house that was right next door to theirs (which happened to be the house my mother grew up in). Their plan was to fix up the house and rent it out. - But the structure proved to be too unstable due to water and insect damage over the years. After having the local fire department do a practice burn on the structure, our little farm starts to take shape. Within the foundation area of the old house, we have built a memorial garden to my grandmother, Rosemary. It includes a "kitchen" garden, a "living" area, and a large bedroom, containing eight flower "beds" representing her eight children.

Seeds are have sprouted and are starting to grow. One of the eight flower beds in the Memorial Garden.
I collection of old clay pots salvaged out of the garden shed, serve as a border in the flower bed.
