Wanna hear something insane...

Just when you thought it was safe to own your
own piece of the American dream...along comes
another government agenda to rob you of all
your freedoms...if I were a Mexican,
I'd stay in Mexico...
you think that fence is there to keep you out,
think again...
it's to keep us in!!!


Forcing property owners to destroy homes, leave land all part of UN's Agenda 21

The US government's coercion of property owners to destroy their homes and leave their land is all part and parcel of the United Nations Agenda 21 program, a plan of action for "sustainable development" designed to cluster the populations of the world into organized, tightly-designed, planned communities, where they can be monitored, tracked, and forever connected to the government control grid (http://www.un.org/esa/dsd/agenda21/).

Living on one's own private land, especially land that is detached from a major city and its respective power grid, is simply not part of the UN's global agenda for population control.

That is why the UN created a "Wildlands Network and Smart Growth" component to Agenda 21 that gradually forces rural individuals to migrate to urban clusters, while seizing control and ownership of their left behind land in order to turn it back into wild, government-owned land (http://www.freedomadvocates.org/art...).
And here we are again, like flocks of sheep being
led to the slaughter by our own government...
Check out Mike Adams site
www.naturalnews.com
He has the most informing articles on the latest
news for off-grid, holistic living, natural foods
sources...great stuff, sign up for his emails!
Sometimes I just have to let it go, because
this world we live is a den of thieves,
full of corruption, full of lies and deceptions...
it isn't ours anymore!!!
Check out Agenda 21 for yourself,
it's happening!

Yesterday the state morons were out on their
mowers cutting the grass along the 4-lane and
mowed right up to the edge of my property line
where I have tall prairie grasses growing and cedar trees
to keep the idiots on snowmobiles out of my yard...
they always mow an extra row into my property,
because ya put a man on a (RIDING)mower and ya got
total devastation, he goes crazy!!!
So now I can't let my chickens free-range
for fear of them getting on the highway...
those men(I use the term loosely)
are afraid of metal stakes...
I feel a fence coming on...!!!

...just sayin!

A Wild Thing...at the farm...

Hasn't every little girl dreamed
of owning her very own pony...
well, this girl as well,
but my dream never came true,
but I still dream of sharing life with one of the most
beautiful animals on the planet,
my new biz card...
it'll do!

The backside, sharing my stats and vitals...
as I prepare for the open house at
Sister's Garden FARM STYLE...

Link
Well, you've all gotten to know me pretty well
by now and you know my quirky style,
so are you surprised...NOT...!
I sell oodles of frames up there, but I wanted you
to really notice them...farm-style!
I'm copying old farm photos to make
them more interesting...

NO THAT'S NOT ME...
but it easily could be...some day...

Bunches of new soap scents will fill the breezes
with decadent scents of the kitchen,
farm-style,
like Peaches n Cream,
Chestnuts and Brown Sugar and
Almond Rum Cake...
oh, you should smell my house this mornin',
as burned the midnight oil last night
preparing for the event...
You DO NOT want to miss this,
I am constantly amazed at my sisters(and Brandon)
at
Sister's Garden and Bloom!
Y'all come now!!!

I love country...and blue...

While I was waiting for soap to cure today,
this book caught my eye in the cupboard...
kinda reminds me of my front porch,
'ceptn mine's pink...

Everything is just so homey-like, with useful stuff
just layin' around waitin' their turn to be useful...

This kitchen just calls to me, maybe 'cause it's so
cluttered like mine...

another view, sorry about the book crease...
I think it's because it's not tailor-made to fit,
just favorite stuff put together for
convenience and a Bohemian impermanence...

Love the settee and the chipped plaster on the wall!

and a splash of taxidermy and light...

cobblestone and weathered brick,
it surely doesn't get more inviting than this...
does it...

well, maybe some stashed fruit jars here and there...

but, it all boils down to country
and antiquity
and home
and how you fit the look into your realm...
ahhhhhhh...

Stealth...riders on the wind...

OMG...I was so excited...
saw my first honeybees of the summer
and three of them in one day!!!
Well, the toxic aerial spraying of the fields
has ceased, so wildlife gets a break...

The baby bumblers are out in full force as well,
bumbling on the sedum, I love it when these
plants start to flower, the wasps and bees
flock to it's fruit...now I can breathe easy...
till next toxic season anyway!!!
MONSANTO
KISS MY ASS
!!!


And speaking of stealth...
my Dad and his trusty stead,
the B-mer,
his beloved BMW.
He drives down to the micro-farm every Sunday
to visit his girls
me n Scratchy...83 and still motorin'...
now that's what I call FREE SPIRIT...

Autumn day, as we prepare for the open house

Autumn twins...


Yup, it's in the air fer sure,
leaves are falling, squirrels are gathering,
but mostly playing
and the air is crisp...
but I'm not seeing the signs of a hard winter,

The only birds I hear are chickens
and the Canada geese, but they are infrequent.
I think it will be a long mild winter
in Iowa anyway...

The eyes and the wind have it...


Was working on some Link"Cracked in the Head" nightlights
for Kelly over at Eccentricities whilst working
at the Candle Shed Saturday...
now you do know how similar to taxidermy this is,
ripping out the eyeballs, that is...
I always carry my bead box along with, just in case
I get some inspiration...
so I decided to work up a necklace.

SOLD
Using vintage red glass beads, a vintage keyhole
and copper wire and chain...
and of course, my word of choice...ODD...!
And yes Gayle, the next one will say SICKO...
LOL!!!

SOLD
...and, like taxidermy, nothing is left unused,
so eyeball earrings are in order and of course
I love the look of the fire glazed beads,
sorta like a teardrop...
so on this beautiful Labor Day mornin'
I'm going out to the studio and prepping for
"the deed" as I wait for my supplies to come,
"Big's hide will be prepared for mounting...

My original biz card I designed, back in the day...
this was BC...before computers.
I drew a Native American peace pipe,
as I thought the subject perfect for my works
and had a local printer print them up,
boy, was that ages ago, but the subject still fits...
as one of Big's feathers was sent off on the wind,
offered in peace to his wandering spirit.
A perfect Autumn day, the still only disturbed
by the familiar sounds of the Canada geese
heading off on the wind...
I love a still, cool morning before
the traffic hits the 4-lane...
Have a wonderful holiday Americans,
I'm going outside to play...!
