"A merry heart doeth good like a medicine"

Proverbs 17:22

Making Melody

Charlotte was a disabled lady from our church.

I tried to help her by cleaning her tiny

apartment and taking her grocery shopping.

I visited her a few times when she was dying

in the care facility.

This doesn't sound exactly like the post title, does it!

But after Charlotte went to be with the Lord,

I was given a couple of her things

that her children didn't want ~

her Bibles and her music stand.

I use her Bibles but didn't really

have a use for her music stand.

But one of my sweet grand daughter's

needs one for her violin music.

She's 7 years old and loves pink!

Gentleman Farmer and I took the dusty

old black music stand and fancied it up

a bit for our little musician.

Here are the before's and after's!



The black music stand





Disassembled and ready to clean





Cleaned and lightly sanded





The first of MANY coats of Berry Pink paint




A touch of oil painted musical whimsey!

 

The finished stand ready for Miss R
to make melodies!



I think Charlotte would be pleased that

someone was putting her music stand to good use

and giving pleasure to others with their music!

Rainy Day Excursion Part 2

Con't. from yesterday!

After our visit to Chocolate Flower Farm

we made our way North to

Cultus Bay Nursery



Cultus Bay Farm House

From the Website's FAQ page


"How Old Is the House?

The Victorian – style farmhouse was built by my husband Tom. He started it in 1984and it’s been a gradual process towards finishing. Since he followed old building styles, many people think it’s really an old home. He built it all – even the windows!"



Strolling among the beautiful garden finery
dispite the pouring rain.



As you walk thru the delightful maze of plants,
you think you are walking thru a garden
but in fact, all of these plants are in pots that
sit on benches throughout the nursery.



The Knot Garden



Just as the clouds covered the early summer sky,
so does this cloud of honeysuckle vine
cover it's trellis.



Our day ended on a happy, soggy note.

We came home with a wagon load of

new goodies for our gardens

and a new favorite for our

garden purchases.

If you are ever in the area, I encourage you
to take a trip to Whidbey Island and
visit these lovely nurseries. If not in person,
go to their website and enjoy the next best thing!

A Rainy Day Excursion! (Part 1)

T'was a very rainy birthday celebration

for Farmer's Daughter #1

on our day trip to Whidbey Island.

We checked out some delightful

garden nurseries.

Welcome to Chocolate Flower Farm (click for link)




Big umbrella for big rain!





Taking shelter while petting the
piggy garden greeter.




Most of the plants at Chocolate Flower Farm are
chocolate colored, chocolate scented, have a chocolate name..
well, you get the idea...



Anyone know the name of this plant?
Looks like a foxglove with wee chocolate
colored flourets.



How about this tree with blooms
that look like white roses hanging
from the branches?





Iris





Exotic!



Pepper, the cat!

"A merry heart doeth good like a medicine"

Proverbs 17:22

It's a mystery to me!

I've discovered something quite intriguing in

The Barnyard.

Won't you come see?

""And if I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing."

I Corinthians 13:2

Welcome Summer!

" Thou hast established all the boundaries of the earth; Thou hast made summer and winter."

Psalm 74:17

The Lighthouse



Sometimes, the Gentleman Farmer and I

like to go 'adventuring' to nearby

places that we have not been before.

Saturday, being a bit gray and blustery,

we journeyed to the little islands

Vashon and Maury.

The Lighthouse
Pt. Robinson Park
Maury Island





Caretakers Cottage




Barn swallows sail above us
as we stroll the walk between cottages.




This odd contrivance, once used to pull boats
on and off the beach, now plays the part of
picnic table.
It still rides the rails that travel down to the shore.



This charming little swing
(which the Gentleman Farmer said he thought he could make me one of)
sat at the bottom of a cliff that was an avalanche
of blackberry blossoms.
A lovely way to ponder the day.
