when i was at my mom's house a few weeks ago she loaded up my trunk with stuff she was getting rid of.
she sent me home with a quilt, some art and this croquet set.
"we never use it" she said.
and it has been the farm family favorite ever since!
annie gets to start ahead because her skills are being perfected.
she's getting better though.
as with almost every game known to man....craig knows the rules and has taught them how to play.
how does his brain hold all that information?
rules to croquet? why is that in there???
and also with all games in the duerksen house....an extra challenge is thrown down.
"can you do this?"
trying to balance a croquet mallt is now more fun than croquet!
we looked like a family of circus performers.
this photo looks like annie is about to get whacked by sean...she didn't....thank goodness.
this bush/tree is in our yard.
there have got to be 5000 flowers on it...for reals.
maybe more.
it's so big and the awesome thing about it.....it's always COVERED in butterflies!!
you could say it provides privacy for our outdoor area....but that would indicate that we need privacy.
there is nothing out here to need privacy from.
unless you didn't want the cows to watch you eat dinner?
so instead of privacy i will say it is beautiful to enjoy while we spend time in the front yard.
i have no idea what it's called.
do you?
it's obviously been here a long time....it's gigantic.
um...have you noticed that i love living out here?
i have given a few hints haven't i?
:)
craig and i look at each other quite often and give a knowing smile.
we are both thinking it.
"this is an amazing place"
green acres is the place for me.
