JILLYBEAN'S FARM VOL. III

Here is the third volume of my farm magazine.  If you have been following me the past couple of years you will know I always wanted my yard to be in a magazine, but because I live out in the middle of now-where in the high dessert, and my yard is nothing fancy, my yard will never grace the pages of a reputable publication.

  So I decided to write my own , featuring the things I find beautiful and interesting in my yard at the Little Red House.  As always I will have a picture of me on the front cover, but I am a bit camera shy so the cover would look something like this.

"Red Freddy Ford" we affectionately
call him





In this issue
                                                        I would take you for a stroll down
                           a secret path that leads you  around a corner and on to the herb garden



 
We'd walk through the herbs gathering bits of this and that to make
 a lovely herbal and flower tea
nasturtiumns would be gathered to add a dash of
color in our freshly harvested lettuce salad
 that we'd have
 along with tiny cucumber sandwiches
and dilly beans
sitting at a lace covered table
in a cove of trees
 
nasturtiums
 
 
The beauty of this red Geranium in a window flower box
would inspire us to set up an easel, and our paints

 
 
and paint a quick sketch to remind you of a beautiful day
spent in the garden among the flowers, bees, the scent of herbs,
and the company of good friends
