Minerva Returns With a Giveaway!
With snow on the ground, but spring in the air,
I have started to get ready for the coming gardening season.
With potting soil ready... this year's seed order has arrived.
I will be spending the end of the week in the greenhouse planting seeds.
For now, all that is growing is a salad mix...

For now, all that is growing is a salad mix...
Isn't that the most beautiful color ever?
Next on my list was to get Minerva off to the spa for a total make-over.
I am happy to report that she is back and looking finer than ever!
Minerva is one of those gals who seems to age quite well...
(with a few nips and tucks along the way...who wouldn't?)
Amanda found a hat for her.
After all, a gal has to protect her face from the harsh sunlight if she wants to avoid those wrinkles!
She was in great shape last spring.
Winter took it's toll on her, however,
and by February Minerva was looking quite sad...
Winter took it's toll on her, however,
and by February Minerva was looking quite sad...
standing alone in the cold... bedraggled, faded clothes, and weather-worn.
But now she is looking sassy and ready to take on whatever unwanted visitors
who appear in the garden.
She will be taking her place in the garden closer to wedding time,
so that her clothes stay fresh and clean.
I thought you might enjoy a quick peek at the changes that Minerva has undergone over the years...
for the 6 years that we have lived here on the farm.

Each year, you might notice, Minerva wears an apron...
because every farm girl needs an apron!
To celebrate Minerva's new look, I am offering a giveaway in her honor.
Leave me a comment, if you'd like your name placed in the hat,
and tell me what your favorite part of Spring is.
We will have a random drawing on Saturday and will announce the winner then.
Winner may have their choice of any of the Vintage-Inspired Chore Aprons
from the Bee Haven Marketplace (see tab beneath blog header).
