HEAVEN on Earth...

Heaven on Earth...the Lingl farm...need I say more?!

Gram's "reinforced and updated" Rock Garden is absolutely breath-taking.

I swear Carrine Faith walked on every piece of stone and rock in the entire garden :)
She was "all smiles" the entire time!
The kids had a blast running through the "trails" in the garden. 
And of course "posing" for pictures everyone "once in a while" :)
Natural cave in this Evergreen tree - perfect hiding spot!
Carrine loves Great Gma "Chip's" cat named Psycho! :)

I could listen to CC say "Psycho" all day long!
Mom and Gram, the floral experts...Priceless!
Truly Heaven on Earth...Miss you beyond words Gpa Shorty!

Over 60 years ago Gpa Shorty picked up extra night shifts at the Olivia bowling alley to purchase two rows of Evergreen Trees to plant at the farm. Gpa was paid $3 per night working at the bowling alley and was able to purchase one tree (for $3) per a night's work. So thankful most of the 30 original trees are still standing today.
My Gram is my inspiration and motivation!!
I swear there is no other 87-year-old woman (who has had both hips replaced) who has a more beautiful and "perfect" farm yard than my Gram.
God bless her (and her work ethic) always.

I swear there is not ONE WEED in her entire 5+ acres of lawn or gardens.
Another amazing afternoon with Mom, Gram and the kiddos...very thankful.
