we joke
when we call it
the 'farmette'..
its really an emphasis
on the 'ette'
meaning it's small
and not really a farm at all
but for a city girl like me
it is
a LOT
of property
regardless..here's a glimpse
* * *
we say
i have a meadow
and i do have a vineyard
and some animals
(and a couple of REAL groundhogs...
i'd sell cheap..heck i'd give them away.
please....no really,
you can have them..)

and a chicken coop
(with no chickens)
yet...
but mostly so far
it's just a big hillside
with lots of weeds
but it works for me..
i 'see' the potential
* * *
there's a foundation on the property
at least 120 years old
pretty cool
somebody told me what this plant is...
but cant remember
if you know...clue me in..
i think he said you can make soup from it???
theres an old stone wall that surrounds my house on 2 sides
very cool.
also dates back over 100 years !
walkway up the vineyard
it may not be much yet,
but i love it..
it's what i see from my desk
and from my worktable in the studio..
cant beat that !!
and i dont have to go to the park
for my daily walk..
i walk this twice and i'm good to go...
anyway......it's a glimpse
what do you think?

gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful! I can't wait to see it!
ReplyDeleteLove that place! I'll bet that is swiss chard -does that sound possible? Yum, my grandparents used to saute it with garlic and olive oil. It cooks down to nothing, but I remember carrying huge bags of it from the farmers market...
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteWell this looks like heaven on earth to me!! Lucky you!! The vine.. Acabia maybe??
I recieved my magazines this week, thanks so much!! I plan to spend some good time drooling over them this weekend :-)
and... I am following along now, I have to see what you do with all that dreamy property!
Bella
What a wonderful piece of earth. Lucky you! Enjoy:)
ReplyDeleteGreat story... worthy of a book, hint, hint. (I'm serious.) As I looked at the pictures of the vineyard, I was thinking "lush"... then realized how that could be taken a few ways! What a wonderful adventure you've got planned!
ReplyDeleteI love it!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! I love this property, and I am going to read why you bought it. If I were you and you really want the poppies, just clear one patch and plant them. Wild flowers would be great, also, but that is me, I love wildflowers. Poppies reseed so they will spread. Then next year do another patch. It will brighten your view with pops of color. The vines in the one picture are Virginia Creepers, but not sure that is what you were talking about for soup. The wall is amazing. My Dad was a poet and he studied and wrote poetry about these old walls. You are lucky to have found some still intact and so beautiful. I will be coming to your blog more often. Thanks for the pictures.
ReplyDeleteI love how you pointed out the little things that make this property beautiful. That rock wall is amazing. love, love, love your property. Let me know when the wine from the vineyard is ready. :)
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Beth
Beautiful! I love all the green found in your farmers! We havec a rancher....no green...Just sage, dirt, and more dirt! The only way we would ever get that much green, we must irrigate or have pivot sprinklers! Your place is amazing!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
