I have been following a wonderful blog in the US called thekitchensgarden.com
The blog has been created by the lovely Celi who is a kiwi girl living in the mid west, a passionate farmer, an amazing photographer and writes prose that is often magical. She has an avid following …
I was so surprised when Celi contacted me recently to see if I would do a ‘guest appearance’ on her blog. It took me no time to respond. ‘OH YES’ what a wonderful opportunity! So without any fuss, come visit Frog Pond Farm on the prairies of Illinois …
Dan’s got the general idea – he’s off to check it out!
Good for you! I’ll definitely check it out. 🙂
Hey Julie … I know I was so excited when I got asked. Couldn’t believe it .. Go on, check it out! LOL Hugs …
Awesomeness!
Hi Julie, I just read thru a few of your posts and had a look at a couple of your gorgeous videos and I loved them. So much so that I subscribed by email. (That makes you number seven blog which comes into my in box…I’m picky like that…lol) Anyway, love your hilly, rolling land. That’s always been my ideal for a farm, and love your black cat; he’s like my Milo…only different. You know what I mean? Black cats may all look alike at a distance, but boy are they ever different in their little faces. 😀
Hi Veronica … oh that is fabulous! 7 only … good on you. Nice to know I’m one of those 7! I love that cat too – his name is Eric. I do know what you mean – they all look the same but their faces give them away. Thanks for following 😀
Great tour of your beautiful place Julie!
Hey Dan .. thanks for taking the tour. What a great opportunity .. lucky me 🙂
Had a look at your guest spot and,like those of us who have discovered you already, the comments reflect how beautiful everyone finds what you have created. Well done!
Oh thank you .. I really appreciate your comments 😀

Thanks Miss … was so excited!

You will really enjoy Celi’s blog .. great writer and takes fab photos too. Farm living! 😀
I love her world. I found it early on when I started my blog at the end of 2011 and was still living in Hamburg DE. I was craving gardening and farming and read every word she wrote. I still take time every couple weeks to catch up as I’m not blogging everyday.
I’ll head over and see your guest post- must have been when she went to her son’s wedding? Funny how we are intertwined somehow someway through these little machines! xx
Oh I couldn’t agree more Wendy. I so enjoy Celi’s world and her wonderful prose and pics. Take care Miss and nice to know you stopped by
