When we rely upon laws to enforce decent behavior, we end up spending our hard-earned money on attorneys. Rather than legal recourse, I’m on a mission to amp up my personal charm and collaborative kindness. Good manners are contagious.
Let’s get viral together.
Winnie Nielsen says: Spring green and gentle spring rain. What a beautiful sight to behold!
Cindi says: Well we do indeed have the gentle rain ~ and my first crocus looks very pretty under the droplets. Since I thought all of the bulbs I planted the year before last had been lost to a freeze, it is a double pleasure to see this beautiful purple and green flower 🙂
Winnie Nielsen says: I really enjoy these morning photos. Beautiful flowers, vintage farm pieces and barns, and so much more!
MaryJane says: You’re what keeps us outside with our cameras! Good morning gurlfren!
Marcia Hicks says: Lovely Helebore! Mine are a very deep purple/almost black color and they are splendid looking in the morning sun!
Winnie Nielsen says: This bloom close up is stunning. What will it be when it opens up? Spring pink and green are one of my favorite color combinations.
Carol Hill says: Hi Winnie! The photo of the day is a Lenten rose (Hellebore) bud. They’re popping out all over!
Nancy Coughlin says: If anything ‘popped out’ right now, here in northeast PA, it would freeze and fall off the plant. Cabin fever is really becoming an issue for some folks. I am hard put to keep up with my bird-feeders and suet hangers. Hard to believe that Spring is supposed to be here in a couple of weeks.

Here’s how:
MaryJane will post a photo and a description of a prop and its cost along with a few details as to its condition here: https://shop.maryjanesfarm.org/MaryJanesCurations. It’s a playful way to be the new owner of a little bit of farm herstory.
Are these the cans that were used for storing oil, kerosene and such so that you had a safe pouring spout?
Given the style of this one, perhaps. Especially if it once had a lid but I think of it as a watering can and use it for that purpose. When I found it in a second hand store years ago, it didn’t have any oily residue or weirdness on the inside.
How ironic. Just found an old oil can today in a home I am helping to clear out. Was told “Take it I have no idea what it is or what it is used for.” Explained and she told me to take it anyway. Elderly woman/friend is moving form a 4 bedroom family home to a one bedroom assisted living apartment. Hoarding has been an issue and it is going to be a long time of ‘doing’ and clearing.
