Predictions for our region have been for a hard winter. Acorns are steadily falling and squirrels are busy hiding them. The dogwood fruit is plentiful although the birds are fighting for the delicacy.

The name “dog-tree” entered the English vocabulary by 1548, and had been further transformed to “dogwood” by 1614. Once the name dogwood was affixed to this kind of tree, it soon acquired a secondary name as the Hound’s Tree, while the fruits came to be known as dogberries or houndberries. – Source Wikipedia
Welcome, I'm an artist/maker that lives on a small flower and chicken farm in Virginia. I’m an introvert that prefers to spend quiet time in nature observing and taking photos and painting scenes from our happy life. On our little farm, we grow flowers from seeds and gather fresh eggs from our sweet chicks. I run a small farm stand and Art Wagon on our property. I also have a mermaid heart that longs to be by the water. Sometimes I share things I cook and make and our trips to the sea. I hope you will say hello. xo Kim
