This door knocker (another thing which is useless, really, but oh so cool!) came from McKenzie Childs (see their lovely things at MacKenzie-Childs ) and if you have shopped there, you know I spent a hard earned dime or two on the thing! Still, I could not resist - having a penchant for frogs!
The door needed painted and this seemed like a pond-colored blue (it actually is the exact color of the masking tape used to seal off the edges of the door and the white dog door). When it came time to affix the door knocker to said door, more than one word of profanity was exuded from my handyman's mouth as he attempted to find a solution for the not-so-good hardware which arrived with Mr. Frog. A trip to the hardware store and two more failed attempts finally led to a successfully mounted frog door knocker which will never get used - and if it does, no one will hear it!! But, one does have the pleasure of looking out the kitchen window by the sink and see this lovely door. That's what it's all about!!
Farm updates include breaking into the bee hive once again this weekend to find Ms. Queen and her worker girls busy and building. The bee thing has been fascinating and quite a surprise to see how docile and uncaring the bees seem to our presence. Mike went gloveless this last go round. At the rate they are building, however, do not get your hopes up for gifts of honey! The cool, wet weather has not been inspiring, despite all the blooming flowers.
The new alfalfa is up. I've been afraid to go look at it since our 29 degree morning (lost my two zucchini plants - I should know better) and the absence of rain for over a week now.
Three critters are working on the grass crop; Bishop, Dinah, and Mya. Tune into the live cameras to see them hanging out by the hanger.
Looks like our renters are moving out come mid-August. I am actively seeking the next, awesome renters!
Weather is divine right now!!
