I've got to share my most fav farm that is in my neck a the woods. This is by far one I loveeeeeeee to drive by and I'm gonna show ya'll why.....

This is the front view looking to the right as you drive by. I love that huggggeeee cross in their yard. Actually many years ago there was a group of what I would call "athiest's" that tried to get the county to make them remove this cross from their land !!!!

But ya'll see who won ? Jesus and the land owner. And after that they started puttin' messages on the barn. They change 'em out every so often. I took my cam today so I could get a few pics to share with ya's soooooo here ya go.....

Beautiful Barn !!!!

See the cross above the door ? You may be able to see it better in the next pic.

Not much better....=(

There we go !!! Much better

Now on the barn door is where they put messages....

Closer up pic.....

I love to drive by to read the new messages they put up. It's really uplifting.

Well my week has consisted of........a heart,fabric and potatos lol I hafta' show ya this pic....my heart isn't a fabric heart......Yepp you guessed it it's a potato heart lol. Fred my DH was cookin' fried potatos and brought me my plate cause I was tuckered out from work and lo and behold I had this on my plate awwwwww

So I yelled Ohhhhhh Honeyyyyyyy come look at this tater lol

He said awwww see I do love ya...now lets put that puppy on Ebay and sell it lmbo !!!!! He had no idea one came out lookin like a heart......
