Love is in the air
Every sight and every sound

Hee! Hee! is this going to be humming in your head all day long? It is mine. What a great song from the 70's Anywhoo... Love is really in the air.
Nah, Not with Rodster and Edna, though they look awful cozy. Isn't this a cute photo?
Rodster is in love with several gals. And not only is he in love , but he is a Papa.
There is Ginger and her babe. Cute!

| This is the newest babe. |
Blackie with her babe. She is very protective.
And there is Bev and look who is behind her, Baby Rodster.
Oh my ! Look at Baby Rodster's adorable, precious face! I am in love! ❤❤❤🐄🐮
How stinking cute! Is he like his dad or what ?
Anyway Love is in the air - at least on the farm!

Maybe next week we can go to the other section of the farm to see if love is in the air with Big Bad Brad. Remember him.

| This handsome fellow may look gruff, but he is as gentle as a lamb. His name is Big Bad Brad. |

ReplyDeleteAaaw thank you so much, Patti. I had a great day on the farm photographing all of the cows. They were having a good day as well. I hope you enjoy this little stitch. Have a fabulous weekend. Hugs.
DeleteIn Spain, we say "spring stirs the blood," referring to this outpouring of love with the arrival of good weather.
ReplyDeleteLove has certainly blossomed on the farm!!!
Thanks for the new post.
Have a great weekend!!!
Oh, I just love that saying, Isabel. Thank you so much for sharing it with me. This time of the year is a beautiful time on the farm . I enjoy seeing the babies so much. Have a wonderful weekend . Hugs.
DeleteYour bulls and cows and calves are all adorable! How fun to see them everyday - you are a lucky gal. :D
ReplyDeleteAah thank you so much, Linda. They are characters. They all have their own personalities and quirks. Have a blessed day. Hugs.
DeleteBig bad Brad! Love it! Cows are so pretty to me. Love the x stitch!
ReplyDeleteLOL, Big Bad Brad is a special fella. He is definitely one of my favorites. Thank you for the sweet visit, Penny. Have a wonderful weekend. Hugs.
DeleteThe babies are so adorable. Big Bad Brad made me smile. Cute picture of Edna! What an adorable little farm chart, Melisa. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteAaaw thank you so much, Robin. It was a good day on the farm. All of the cows were being very photogenic which made me happy. Big Bad Brad always makes me smile too. He is so easy going - not a care in the world. LOL. Have a wonderful weekend. Hugs.
DeleteSpring really IS in the air - you have baby calves - my dd has almost a dozen baby chicks! Love your farm stamps - thank you for sharing. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday, Donna. I am so glad to hear that your DD still has the chicks. I was wondering how she keeps that many safe. Does she have any problems with critters? We used to have a little pen for ours and would keep them in the garage, but critters were a constant problem. Thank you for the sweet visit. Hugs.
DeleteAdorable stamps, Melisa!! Spring has definitely sprung here--despite the still chilly ocean breezes!! My bleeding hearts are about to bloom and my magnolia tree is festooned with flowers--so gorgeous...I hope your weekend is a wonderful one...hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteOh how special to be able to feel the chilly ocean breezes. I do love the ocean though it has been years since I have been to the beach. Your garden looks wonderful, Julierose. I adore your magnolia tree. I went to the store today in search of bleeding hearts after seeing yours. I did not find any, but I will continue the search. Thank you for the sweet visit. Hugs.
Deletegood morning sweet Melisa.
ReplyDeleteyour down on the farm posts are so awesome to me!!! i just love all the photos. big bad brad is a busy fella. his babies are so adorable. can the female heifers have more than one baby a year? i just love hearing all the news of the moms, babies and big bad brad. the heifers are so beautiful.
thank you so much for your the Heifers cross stitch freebie. i have the chicken one printed and now the heifers cross stitch will join them.
did you ever post the colors you used on your Rose Garden mini sampler? i would love to do this project, but i love your colors and want to use what was used. thanks for the cross stitch pattern Melisa.
you are so wonderful giving us all the cross stitch patterns that you create. i love it and am so very grateful. i appreciate the projects so much. they are all so cute.
i hope you have a very lovely Friday. i will now that i was reading Pinker n Punkers blog today. you're the absolute best!!!
you were such an inspiration to me that i planted eight tomato plants. i have four beefsteak, one cherry tomato, one black cherry tomato, one husky cherry tomato, and the last one is the best, cherokee purple tomato. i can't wait to get some sweet, juicy tomatoes from my plants. the sweet lady that helped me at home depot said i'm going to have tomatoes running out of my ears. i told her i have plenty of neighbors i can provide for.
blessings and love are coming your way Melisa. a great big squeezy hug is right along with the love.

Happy happy Friday, dear Debra. I hope you have had a wonderful day. It sounds like you have been super busy. I do hope you will keep me posted how your garden does. You are going to be in tomato heaven. Hee! Hee! Cherokee Purple is my hubby's favorite. I love the cherry tomatoes. Well, I let's face it- I love all tomatoes. LOL. Oh, I haven't posted the colors yet on the Rose Garden Mini Sampler , but I meant too. I used DMC 815, 223, 730 and for the letters 844. I hope to post the finish this weekend. It was a great day to take photos of all of the heifers . I had to go up on the hill to see them when I heard a new baby was born. Though they could get pregnant again in a year, we separate them from the bull if that time comes so Mama and babe can have plenty of time together . I wish you a beautiful weekend, sweet friend. Hugs and love from the holler.
DeleteI'm a city girl, so fascinated with life on the farm! Love seeing all the babies. And that cute new farm stamp, too. My list of your designs to stitch is just getting longer! Happy Friday, Melisa!
ReplyDeleteAaaw it just warms my heart to hear that you enjoy the farm photos, Diann. I enjoy posting photos of the farm especially the livestock because they are such characters. Thank you for the sweet Friday visit. I wish you a great weekend in the sewing room. Hugs.
DeleteI grew up on a small farm and I love seeing photos from your farm. The cows with their babies are adorable, the big guys too. Cute farm stitcheries too.
ReplyDeleteOh how fun, Astrid. There is nothing like farm life is there. The cows are my favorites on the farm. Well Edna the donkey too. LOL. Thank you for the sweet visit. Hugs.
DeleteOh, sweet babies. Love the chocolate eyes and the looong lashes on the babies. Thank you for the new farm stitch. Perfect!
ReplyDeleteAren't they the sweetest, Ginny? I was watching one the other day running through the field like the wind kicking up its heels. What a delightful sight. Thank you for the sweet visit. Warm Hugs.
DeleteI am taking the plunge ~ I have printed off The Heifers and am going to make it as a gift for my sister in law. (I'll be sure to post on IG and tag you) They have a ranch where they raise and show and sell the heifers. This will make the perfect little memento for me to make for her :) They have a big bad brad too :) I admit I had to look up exactly what a heifer was. I learned something today! Thank you for the fun post today. (nwpaintedlady)
ReplyDeleteLooks like you've got lots of babies to watch grow up this summer. Very cute farm stitching.
ReplyDeleteThis stamp is beautiful too! I'm loving your new "Down on the farm" collection!
ReplyDeleteHugs
Awww, those babies and mamas are just precious! Rodster definitely looks like his dad! Have a great weekend, Melisa! Hugs.
ReplyDeleteI've been away and just now catching up on my favorite blogs. I'm apologizing in advance for all the comments you are about to get from me LOL. I love the newest farm stamp. Those heifers are cute!
