Okay Mary, I finally got up the nerve to post a couple pictures of your farmhouse block. I pray that you will find it pleasing. I tried to include a few things that perhaps would remind you of your childhood home. I included lots and lots of flowers (even some "violets" in the upstairs windows) and a few quilts for your mother. The yellow "roses" are in remembrance of your loved ones who have passed, and the flag is a nod to the courage your brother exhibited by his service in the armed forces. There is an apple tree and a watermelon because your father farmed. I thought the little kitty cat that's peeking from behind the watermelon looked just a little bit like your kitty in your avatar. I changed the posts on the porch because your home had wrought iron railings. I even put the driveway at the bottom of the block -- just like in the photograph you sent to me. The squirrel is to represent the little furry baby, Bushy Tail, that you all nursed after it fell from its nest. I added a small lilac bush in front of the photo of your family since you mentioned that you had lilacs on the homestead. The vining flowers are "morning glories," and they have just about overtaken the house!! After all, your daddy said that "if [you] could just sell them [you] would be rich." There was so-o-o-o much more I wanted to include, but there was only so much room in the block. Thank you so very much for letting me do this for you. ;-) It was a blessing to me.
