Cosmos by the |
|
Three years ago we planted a row of Cosmos in
the garden by the old Cow Barn. The next summer, after we had
tilled the garden, the Cosmos spread to over half of the
garden. Then last summer they were growing
everywhere! It was absolutely wonderful to harvest our vegetables among those colorful flowers. The Cow Barn was one of the first structures built on the ranch by John V. Peterson. It is made from hand-hewn logs and old rough-cut lumber. This was a working ranch with several hundred head of cattle plus horses, goats, and other animals. Our 'garden' was originally used as a corral. The hill behind the Cow Barn would make a beautiful site for a new home. It rises 140' above the old ranch house and has a primitive road up it. |
