Farmhouse Style Backyard


Our backyard is beginning to look more like a farm than a "citified backyard".  

 I am using farm animals as part of the decor in my flower beds this spring.

I placed a ram and baby sheep in the rose garden right outside the back porch......

You've seen the baby sheep before,   but the ram is a early Mother's day present from my daughter.    

I bought my concrete Rooster that's sitting on the porch  at a yard sale this past week end.   She's old and in pretty rough shape....kinda like me.....but she was only a dollar.
So now I have goats in front of the green house......sheep by the back porch.....what next?

 Maybe a cow?   I've had my eye on one at a local nursery......hint..... hint H!

I took these photo's just as the sun was coming up this morning....see it shining on the plants

   It's going to be a gorgeous day!

  5. You must get a lot of attention from your neighbors. I have NOTHING compared to what you have and my neighbors watch me like a bunch of hawks. They say I inspire so I cannot even imagine what yours think. Have you ever had anything stolen from your yard? I have never seen so many different things that I have never seen before anywhere in posts. It's just amazing. I mean just amazingly different things. Similar perhaps but not often not just like yours. One of the first things I "coveted" of yours was that Christmas Tea pot that your daughter gave you..I searched the world over and finally found one in Australia...yep..had it shipped here and they also had a couple of cups..at least I think it was Australia. I know it was from some FAR distant land. :) I love that tea pot. It was love at first sight. Your farm animals are so unique that I wouldn't even TRY to find those. Probably custom made by some artist... LOVE your blog...no..I really do LOVE your blog!

  9. Penny,
    Really cute!! Loved seeing the mailbox because I am going to move the one that I had out front into the back yard in an attempt to declutter the front. It was rainy and cold all last week so I did not get a chance to do anything in the yard and now I will be on a 3 day stretch at work so it will have to wait until the end of the week....
    Hugs,
    Debbie
