Bessie

This weeks theme at Funky Junk is rust

So I decided I would introduce you to my lawn ornament

B E S S I E

There was a time  that she actually worked this land

but in her retirement years she is resting comfortably in my front yard

I love her rusty beauty.

Okay, do you think I am crazy for having a broken down tractor with a name as a lawn ornament.

Hope you are not laughing to hard at me

The funny thing is how she got to her resting place

A few years ago when I decided I wanted her my dad and hubby set out to bring her to me,

You see she had breathed her last breath about a mile from my front yard and had stayed there until I

invited her home.

So Dad and Hubby drove the BobCat to her and the truck

They attached her to the BobCat

and my Dad drove backwards (visions of the movie Cars are going through my head) with her attached with

 my husband in the truck behind him.

The last strech of the road the tires gave way and were flopping in the air,. it was a very funny sight to see.

Since then she rest comfortably under a shade tree.

APRIL SHOWER BROUGHT MAY FLOWERS

Yes, I know it is no longer May

but May was a very

very busy month

So I am just now getting these pictures

from my yard posted.

We have 8 hydrangea plants

but I wish it was 28, they are my favorites.

We have plenty of blueberries to make treats with and

to share with friends.

Did I mention that we have lilies

lots

and

lots

and

lots

these are just a

few

of the

hundreds

that we have.

my parents planted them all when I was growing up.

and now they are mine all mine.

What flowers are blooming in your yard?

I know, I know, I know

I said I wasn't going to be writing any post, well you might as well know that I am ADHD that way.  But the truth is my husband learned to drive a tractor (insert country song, you know the one) tonight and I didn't want to forget this day and I thought his momma might like to see these pictures

Yes, we have a gravel driveway so be prepared that if you ever come visit, I am waaaay out in the middle of no where.
