Country Magazine

Thistle Cove Farm is in the June-July 2009 issue of Country Magazine and on their web site at http://country-magazine.com/

Please forgive me for bragging but Dave and I have done a lot of work to restore this old farm and the house. It's been a long, hard, beautiful road and we're still not finished but every time I get discouraged, I look at the scenery. It's all about the beauty God has allowed us to enjoy and I work like it all depends upon me and pray like it all depends upon God.

Because it does, you know. Depend upon God. Every last blade of grass and every breath we take.

We are so blessed.

Blessings ~ Thistle Cove Farm ~ all the horses ~ all the sheep ~ all the cats ~ all the dogs ~ blessings upon blessings upon blessings, thanks to the goodness of God ~

  2. I will need to get an issue of this magazine. Then I can show it to friends and say..." I know her....well, I correspond with her, and look, she and her husband are FAMOUS! " Anyway, congratulations! And I love that you give God the praise and Glory .

  3. Good Morning Joni - there's one more photo of the house in the Country article and I'll still do a blog entry. I'm thinking as we begin renovation on the damaged section which starts next week. Thanks for visiting, I love to see you here.

    Hi Kathy - It's probably 'infamous' -grin- but we'll take what we can get.
    How can we not praise God? Although I've always wondered about how do rocks cry out; I've heard the trees, every time the wind rustles their leaves but rocks? That one stumps me.

  7. Thank you so very much for stopping by my blog! When I clicked on your blog and your first photo came up (with your blog title) the first words out of my mouth were, "Oh, my gosh." No seriously, I actually spoke them. What a fabulously gorgeous photo. I'm slightly jealous! ;)

  11. Hey, congrats on your accomplishment!!! YES!

    Oh, I got my Armanian cucumber seeds at Sunnyside Nursery (shown on my blog) and thought I'd give them a try. I saw them at a local farmer's market last year and they looked..well, different...and anything different I definitely have to try! LOL
