Beastiest

Bonjour from Campagne Maison





Call of Duty: Campagne Maison-Mission I



My grandson, Kaleb, is spending a couple of weeks with us this summer. Needless to say, he is a very active 12 year old with an imagination outta this world! Not only is he very skilled at all of the Call of Duty war games, he writes his own case scenarios. Best part is, I am an Army nurse and a very important character in his current novel. I'd say that makes me the "beastiest" thing alive!


"beast'iest" (adj) Of, pertaining to, or like-- better than the best, way over the top, cooler than cool, badder than Leroy Brown


Thanks for stopping by the farmhouse for a visit today. We love having company!


Au revoir,

When the Battle's Over

Bonjour from Campagne Maison


(note the crown atop her head)


A circular piece of the rusty arbor fell off during the winter months and I noticed that the DH was inspired to use his creative eye at design...not bad for a beginner!


The first thought that entered my mind when I saw that he had made a crown for my Angel was the gospel song by Isaac Watts...



"Must I be carried to the skies on flow'ry beds of ease,



while others fought to win the prize, and sailed thro' bloody seas?



Sure I must fight if I would reign, Increase my courage Lord,



I'll bear the toil, endure the pain, supported by Thy word.



..And when the Battle's over we shall wear a crown,



Yes, we shall wear a crown....."



Thanks for stopping by the farmhouse for a visit today. We love having company!

Braggin' rights!

Bonjour from Campagne Maison



Today I picked my first ripe cherry tomato!

My mom and sister have over two dozen tomato plants covered with tennis-ball size green tomatoes, all the while I've been waiting in anticipation of seeing the blooms on mine transform themselves into the coveted treasure.



But today, as I was walking by my tiny cherry tomato plant, much to my surprise, look what I found!


Now, I can lay claim to braggin' rights by harvesting the first ripe tomato!


Ahhhhhhhh, I love it when "Underdog" puts on his cape and saves the day!


Thanks for stopping by the farmhouse for a visit. We love having company!


Au revoir,
