Good morning, Sweet Peas. Is it Wednesday already? By golly it is! I thought I would post a Not So Wordless Wednesday post with photos of early spring on the farm. It was a cloudy day, but warm- a good day to be out and about. I hope you enjoy .

Soon the farm will be greening up , calves will be frolicking and bees will be buzzing about. It is always a good day on the farm. Thank you for dropping by.
May your day be filled sprinkled with sunshine!
As Always,
Happy Stitching and Quilting, y'all

Wonderful pictures of the farm on a wordless Wednesday. I remember many quiet days spent on my grandparents' ranch. I truly believe that's where my grandmother was very happy. She didn't need people around her. She was content to tend to the chickens and such. I'm just like her. I'm a loner and don't mind being alone with my "toys". She enjoyed her "toys" as well. Thank you for letting me go down memory lane. Darlene J
ReplyDeleteGood evening, dear Darlene. I am so happy this post brought back fond memories of you dear grandmother and her ranch. Those were the good ole' days weren't they? Things seemed simpler then though work on a ranch is hard work. This was my Nanny's farm. Her and Papa always sat out on the porch in the evenings. In the summertime she would be snapping green beans on the porch as we caught June bugs. Papa would be watching the cows while his cattle dog, Buddy sat at his feet. LOL. There is something about living on the farm/ ranch isn't there? I wish you a wonderful Wednesday. Hugs.
DeleteI really liked the pictures of the farm.
ReplyDeleteAs an urban girl, I associate the countryside with moments of relaxation and vacation, although I can imagine the huge amount of work involved.
Have a nice day.
Hugs
Oh thank you so much, Isabel. Farm life is all that I have ever known but all the work is a labor of love. I am so touched that you joined me today. Hugs.
DeleteNice pics of your farm. I have an imagination of your area.
ReplyDeleteWordless Wednesday? I am sure I will have happy talks today with my friends and neighbours. Sunny weather but very,very cold.
Have a nice Wednesday full of nice words,
Gabi
I hope you had a very lovely day, Gabi. It was a bit cloudy and windy here, but the sun peeked through the clouds ever so often. Warmer days are ahead though. Hugs and Blessings.
DeleteBeautiful, peaceful pictures. Such a calming post. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteAaaw thank you so much, Susie. It was a bit overcast, but a quiet and calm day on the farm. Hugs.
DeleteNothing better than farm living! ❤️
ReplyDeleteThat is so true, Penny. Every day is a good day on the farm. LOL. Warm hugs and Blessings.
DeleteAlways enjoy your tours of the farm. Looking forward to settling down and having a "farm" - read garden and taking care of my dd's chickens ;-) Blessings!
ReplyDeleteAah I hope that you are able to settle in and farm here soon. I just love chickens. How many does your DD have? We thought about getting some, but with our travels; it would be hard for my DD to come and take care of them. LOL. It would be nice to have fresh eggs though. Hugs and Blessings.
DeleteIt looks like a lovely place for a walk about and getting some fresh air.
ReplyDeleteOh it is Jeanna. I enjoy going out to the barns especially to check the bees and Edna. Thank you for the sweet visit. Hugs.
DeleteOur skies have been orange since last Friday. Looks like you had a great day for a walk about.
ReplyDeleteIs that from all of the winds blowing up the dust and dirt? It was a bit overcast but a nice day for a walk here. I am looking forward to warm sunny days though. Thank you for dropping by, Kate. Hugs.
DeleteWonderful tour of the farm, Melisa!
ReplyDeleteAaaw thank you so much, Brenda for dropping by and taking the tour with me. Hugs and Blessings.
DeleteGreat Farm tour, Melisa--really enjoyed seeing how Spring is just around the corner at your place...my wish is that you all stay healthy and happy;))) hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteAaah I am so touched by your kind wish, Julie rose. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do not know how much that means to me especially after a few rough months last year. Oh yes, Spring is on its way. It seems like it is getting greener every day. Hugs and Blessings.
DeleteI enjoyed my walk around the farm, Melisa. Happy Wednesday!
ReplyDeleteOh I am so glad you joined me, Robin. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I hope you had a delightful day. Hugs
Deletegood morning beautiful Melisa. it is always so nice to see your farm. i love it. can i come and live with you please? i'll take care of the animals, especially Rodster. gee whiz he's a big boy and i bet he's a hit with the ladies. can i ask a question please - what is a bush hog? i've never seen anything like that before. very interesting. now that the last of the hay is distributed, do the cows eat just grass? country life is so amazing. i love it. thanks so much for the wonderful pictures. i am so impressed. the room you have to roam is lovely. ah to live in the country. perhaps in my next life. praying i don't come back as an ant. have a wonderful day Melisa. blessings and hugs are coming your way.

Hello sweet Debra. Oh I would just love for you to be here. The animals are a hoot; they all have their own personality. The bush hog is a farm rotary cutter. Here in the south we call it a bush hog even though that is actually a name brand for the equipment. We use it to cut weeds , tall grass and brush. Now that the grass is growing the cows are not interested in the hay so we will not put out anymore . I was watching them graze today. They seemed pretty content which warmed my heart. Hope you had a wonderful day. I spent mine quilting which was very nice. Hee! Hee! Big hugs.
DeleteHola Meli bella que tranquilidad se respira en tu granja. es como volver en el tiempo para mi e imaginarme nuevamente en la finca de mis abuelos!!! que tiempos aquellos que felices!!!!! Gracias por hacerme recordar y volver a vivir esos dias de mi añorada infancia. Un abrazo y feliz dia! disfrutala por las dos! Besos
ReplyDeleteAaah I am so glad these photos brought back fond memories of your childhood, Dianet. Memories with the grandparents are the best aren't they? This was my grandparents farm and brings back lots of memories for me too. It was a whole lot better when they were here tending the farm. Thank you for dropping by. Warm hugs and blessings.
DeleteWhat a fine spring is coming! It's always good to see the green coming just as the last of the hay is about to be served!--TerryK@OnGoingProjects
ReplyDeleteOh it is, Terry. It seems like things are greening up pretty quickly here. I was looking at the fields today and marveling at how greener it was compared to just a few days ago. Spring is here! Thank you for dropping by. Hugs.
DeleteI love touring around the farm with you at any time of year, Melisa! Looks like a lovely and peaceful place. Are there baby calves yet? They're so fun to see!
ReplyDeleteAaah thank you so much, Diann. I enjoy every minute being on the farm. There are a few new calves at the other section of the farm. They have been down at the lower fields these last few weeks. Hopefully they will be moved soon so I can take photos. They are my favorite to see. Have a blessed day. Hugs.
DeleteMelisa ... The farmer in me always enjoys your farm tours. It kind of goes like this ... yes, much the same as here (SW Ontario, Canada) or WOW what a difference, especially when weather related and time of year. So, today, when you showed your bush hog, I nodded with total familiarity, as was an important part of our summer fleet. I will admit, a bit of a chuckle when I started to think as to what the non farm crowd think of it? Betchya that Rodster is enjoying his Spring Flings with your Ladies!!
ReplyDeleteI am so touched that you enjoy the farm photos. I cannot tell you how much that means to me. I bet your farm is beautiful. Do you still have snow or is it thawing out in your area? It is getting green pretty quickly here. Oh yes, Rodster is the king of the hill . He seems pretty gentle too. Hopefully , we will have some cute babes soon. Fingers crossed. Have a blessed and beautiful day and thank you for making my day. Hugs.
DeleteI really enjoyed the farm tour! Your place is massive. As a city girl, I had to look up what was a bush hog! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteAah thank you so much, Gail for dropping by for a visit. I grew up on these farms and have lots of fond memories playing in the barns and such. Oh yes, I should have explained the bush hog. It is used to cut weeds, and tall grasses . I wish you a wonderful day and thank you again for the kind words. Hugs
DeleteVisiting the farm is always enjoyable. Things are greening up nicely there. OMGosh! You even have leaves on trees! So many homey sights. I can almost smell the hay. Thanks for taking me along.
ReplyDeleteI was looking at some of the trees and shrubs at the farm today and noticed the leaves. It makes my heart sing when the weather warms! I just love this time of the year. Thank you so much for dropping by dear Ginny. Warm hugs.
