Part 3 of the family who ran the farm: Auntie Louise

Dead nettles in flower with 3 Dandelions

For I, the Lord your God, hold your right hand; Fear not, I will help you. Isaiah 41: 13 But dandelions was what she mostly saw.

Memories of our family who ran the farm: My Ouma (part2), Grandpa (part 1), then there were my aunt and uncle.

This weight sheContinue reading “Memories of our family who ran the farm: My Ouma (part2), Grandpa (part 1), then there were my aunt and uncle.”
