How can I raise the level of gratitude in my life? Let me count the ways.
Winnie Nielsen says: The little darlin!
Is this little Beaumont getting bigger every day? Can’t see his forehead to be sure.
MaryJane says: Yes, Beaumont with his heart all a’flutter on his forehead.
Karlyne says: Never mind Mr. Darcy; Beaumont is a heart-stopper!
Brenda Willcox says: Id have to name her Bessy. Nothing like a classic name. And id have to make fresh butter with the first bucket. Nothing better than fresh turned butter.
Darcy Jorgensen says: I am so inspired by your magazine!!! The more I read the more I NEED to be outside in my garden, yard and creative space!!!!! 🙂 Thank you for pushing me to be a better me!
calle says: Beauty!
Nancy Coughlin says: What beautiful eyes!!!!
Winnie Nielsen says: This would be my dream kitchen! By the way, I read in our latest magazine where it was mentioned by Meg that you have the Elmira Kitchen appliances. Oh my, I have looked at the RED stove a million times at our local store trying to figure out way to make it happen in my current kitchen. However, when I got a contractor in, he figured it would take another 5K to undo the current set up just to be able to set the stove up to our existing gas line. Phooey!! How do you like the way the brand works? Looks aside, do you think the performance is worth the investment?
Mary Jane, Happy Mother’s Day to you and Meg from sunny Florida!
MaryJane says: Yes, I love my Elmira oven/stove top. It’s convection with spot-on temps. I have the old-fashioned version along with matching fridge and wall oven, not the red one … yet. We’re working on our downstairs commercial kitchen in the coming year but Elmira doesn’t make a commercial stove or I’d buy it.
Winnie Nielsen says: This is good to know about Elmira. I am determined to get a stove somehow or another. We keep talking about downsizing to a smaller house which might just be the perfect opportunity to get a new stove. It is good that you consider the product a high performer too. I like to have real testimonials when purchasing a product. Especially considering the cost.
MaryJane says: And the fridge is quiet, a big plus for me. Not a fan of white noise.

This beautiful, but please name this flower. It is not one that I’m familiar with in the upper Great Lakes region. Thanks.
Just a farm flower. Will have to figure out what it is. It’s a “beautiful” flower:)
It is a beautiful and unique flower! Just got home from the Preakness Weekend to find my Cowpanion book and my new Crown Bees were waiting for me! This next week is going to be fun reading and setting up by new bees.
Beautiful! Of course my favorite color is purple.
Still no ID on this pretty in purple blossom? MJ , we are waiting with baited breath…like you aren’t busy with a hundred other things right now .
Maybe larkspur? I’m going to ask Karina to point it out to me so I can see the whole plant.
