Farmgirl Friday Blog Hop # 186

Happy Farmgirl Friday y'all! Welcome to the farm, the virtual farm that is. Your place to play farmgirl with your best gal pals from all over the web! There's never any shortage of FARMGIRL inspiration in the posts you share here each week which is why we can't imagine Friday's with out YOU!

Here at Dandelion House we are slowly making our way out of the two plus feet of snow that fell in the Blizzard we had earlier this week. We lost the greenhouse in the high winds and our garden gazebo that covers the deck, but the good news is the chickens are fine! I did have to do a little coaxing to get them to come out of the coop though! Have a listen!
BEWARE! I am no Hollywood producer!

 Despite the damages I'm excited about a new growing season that grows nearer with each falling snowflake. Get the full storm report here! Here's hoping my New England friends survived the storm with minimul damages.

Let's get hoppin'!

Farmgirl Friday Blog Hop # 158 and Memorial Day Weekend!

 

Happy Farmgirl Friday! Welcome back! I bet everyone is gearing up for the long weekend.

We harvested our first batch of rhubarb this morning . I see a rhubarb pie in our future! 

Plus, our little cottage is going to be featured in a local magazine called South Shore Living in August so I'm sprucing things up at the cottage over the next couple of days to get ready for the photo shoot on Monday! 

I promise to share my sewing projects and some sneak peak behind the scenes next week!

Debbie of Farmgirl Unleashed  ( my co- hostess and farmgirl in crime ) and I are anxious to see what you've all been up to this week!

We wish you all a safe and relaxing weekend as we all honor the brave men and women who have served and do serve our great country so we can be FREE!
