I hope that you all have enjoyed this beautiful Easter Sunday. He is risen! I wanted to end the month of March in sharing a few of my favorite photos from the month. Celebrated my favorite grandsons birthday. Conner is 18 now! Our beautiful Mallory Grace all decked out for the prom. The youngest grands (sisters) were flower girls in their uncle's wedding. The oldest one was in her element of dress up. The younger one, not so much. THAT HAIR BAND ITCHED HER HEAD she said! I purchased a new pair of wedges that I love. I am always skeptical about ordering shoes or clothing but read the reviews on Amazon and went for it. Love the color and the style. The youngest grand loves to take selfies and play with the filters. Marty colored Easter eggs. He always colors at least a dozen every year.

I want to share with you about The Duke Family Farm. For those on Facebook you can find her page and browse. She has an amazing farm life that speaks for itself. She does a little bit of everything whether it's tending to the animals, making honey from her bees, canning, cooking, baking, gardening, and yep, I've even heard her sing a little......(now I am telling on her) LOL!
On her FB page she says;
Just a few highlights from the garden...
Homemade bread and honey...(honey from her bees) I know first hand that the bread is wonderful!
On her FB page she says;
We are Accidental Farmers ♥
Join us as we try our hand on our new homestead - Backyard gardening, Chickens,
Bee Keeping and Belted Galloway's and Home Cookin!
Well, she may have started out as an "accidental farmer" but needless to say she is a "pro" now.
Her Mission:
In your lives he will increase the things you do that have his approval. (2 Corinthians 9:10)
Her Mission:
We are
ordinary people with a passion to follow a path that God has placed in
front of us. We hope that as we open our hearts and minds and follow
his plan that his light will shine through us. We pray that our
experiences will encourage and inspire you to "plant a seed" and follow
your own evolving light with joy.
God gives seed to the farmer and food to those who need to eat. God will also give you seed and multiply it. In your lives he will increase the things you do that have his approval. (2 Corinthians 9:10)
Johnna and one of her many critters!

She could have her own farmers market and livestock show!
