I just looked back over my … Continue reading »

Makin’ Room and Changing Places

See You At State Fair!

I can hardly believe that it is State Fair time already!  Wow what a summer we’ve had.  I meant to make a post and call it, “Haying Season, It was the best of times and the worst of times”.  But then haying season was long since gone and the post rather stale.  Maybe when I … Continue reading »

Postcard From Vicktory Farm & Gardens

Speaking of shenanigans and big birds…. Did you know that Big Bird, Sesame Street’s yellow fellow, is made with turkey feathers?   It’s true. And … Continue reading »

This week’s theme,“Space Race”, for the Header Challenge was chosen by Mr. Frost, Gailsman.  Since we don’t build rockets of the aeronautic type here on Vicktory Farm & Gardens, I thought I’d feature a rocket and pilot of another sort. Just up the street, our little local fair, Lacamas Community Fair, ran this last weekend.  … Continue reading »

"Landfill" or Was That "Land Phil"?

No, pretty sure that was “Landfill”,  Imac’s choice for this week’s header challenge theme, so no pictures of Phil on his land (Land Phil) but now you are reminded of why Phil is called Dirt, you know…”Fill Dirt Wanted”. This then would be my pictorial representation of “Landfill” from the farm perspective.  I have no idea … Continue reading »
