Sepia Saturday - vintage farm dogs

On my grandparents farm, they always had a farm dog. I was just 3 or 4 and playing alone at the farm. A rooster that jumped on my back and the farm dog Doc chased away that mean rooster. When the attack was over, I went in the farmhouse and told my parents and grandparents that "Doc saved me"
I don't remember any dogs ever coming in the house. They lived outside, ate scraps left from the evening meal and earned their keep by watching over the land and farm animals.

This is Grandpa, why he was on a bicycle is a mystery, but that is definitely a farm dog getting in the picture.

I'm not sure who this baby is, it might be my mom. Whoever it is, they sure seem to like the dog.

My mom, Uncle Bill is wearing a cowboy hat and is kind of behind her and the dog.

Oh My....not again

we've finally had really nice spring-like weather this week. In fact, today it is supposed to be close to 70 - but not for long....
here is tomorrow's weather forecast.
we live in the county shaped like a submarine, in the pink part of course



I am going to enjoy today while we can. I hung out the laundry on the clothesline and now Theo and I are going for a walk. And I guess I better make sure the snow shovel is in a handy place.

Don't forget to wear a little green today....

Happy St. Patricks Day to you all.
This Irish Blessing Sampler was made by my mom from a Jane Snead kit years ago. It still lives at their house but I think my brother and son have both requested it.

these next 2 are here at my home - everyone need a bunny in a leprechaun hat, don't they?
