Hello! My name is Marci. We live in an old rock farmhouse on one acre.
There are two greenhouses, a vegetable garden, herbs, several flower beds,
lots of hobbies and too many pets. Thankfully, our neighbors love us! They
say being our neighbor is like living next door to Old MacDonald and Martha
Stewart! My blog is Stone Cottage Adventures.
