Here’s a slide show of the prayer flag project which is located in the old Roberd’s Dairy Farm in Savannah, Georgia.  This particular prayer flag project started as the prayer flag annex.  The original prayer flag project is at the end of the rails to trails in Savannah.

I stopped counting prayer flags at the pfp that’s at the rails to trails when it reached 500 prayer flags.  The flags at the rtt are still there but they are in desperate need of maintenance.  The rtt prayer flag project started in the summer of 2009.

The prayer flag annex was started around the beginning of 2010.  The prayer flag annex eventually became known as the prayer flag project in the Dairy farm.  The last count I did at the dairy farm pfp was 750 prayer flags.  The prayer flags at the dairy farm are weather beaten as they are more exposed to the elements.

To me, the prayer flags at the dairy farm are more touching and the location where they are at the df is more magical and hallow.  Almost every day I go to the prayer flags at the dairy farm and maintain them.  When there is no more rope to clip prayers to I’ll string more rope.  I also provide blank prayer flags for who ever wants them.  I’ll mail them to who ever asks me for them at my cost.  I buy the fabric at Jo-Ann’s Fabrics on Eisenhower.  I go there so often to buy fabric that the ladies that work there know me and know what fabric and colors I’m going to purchase.  It’s pretty funny.

these are the colors i’m using for the flags. each flag is 7″x7″
What the colors represent:
* Blue (symbolizing sky/space)
* White (symbolizing air/wind)
* Red (symbolizing fire)
* Green (symbolizing water)
* Yellow (symbolizing earth)

Any way, if you want some blank prayer flags just leave a comment at the end of this blog entry and we’ll go from there.

The dairy farm is a very special place and with the prayer flag project there it becomes magical, a refuge, a place of rest for the soul.

Thanks for stopping by.

All the best to you and yours.

Sunday

Snake at the dairy farm

Today was a very warm day in Savannah.  The warm weather brought out lots of critters. I saw quite a few fiddler crabs at the df today. And, a late afternoon walk at the dairy farm (my second walk at the df today) yielded the opportunity to see a snake, a corn snake!  How cool is that?

Anyway, here’s a little video of the man vs snake vs dog ordeal today at the dairy farm. That is the second corn snake I’ve seen at the dairy farm this year. I think 2011 is going to be a snakey year.

Disclaimer: no snake, dog or human were harmed during or after this video. Seriously.

Thanks for stopping by.

All the best to you and yours.

The Dairy Farm Christmas Tree

Some friends and I got together this past Sunday and decorated the lone pine tree in the middle of the pasture at the dairy farm.  We had two fire pit going, hot cider, Christmas music rocking, cookies and brownies.

El tree decorators

As the night wore on we began to spike the hot cider with Wild Turkey to help warm things up some more.  It was loads of fun.

We definitely brought in the Holiday Season with some cheer.

Festive VFFs

If you get a chance stop by the dairy farm and check out the tree.  If you have extra tree ornaments laying about bring em along and hang them on the tree at the farm.

Hope you all are having a happy holiday season.  If not, stop by the dairy farm and walk around a bit.  a walk out there is bound to cheer you up.

Really getting into the spirit of things

Also, there is a section at the dairy farm where we hang prayer flags.  Its on the far back section of the farm near where the Greenwich cemetery is.  If you want some blank prayer flags shoot me an email.  If you want a prayer flag put up for you shoot me an email.  My email is dlh14255@gmail.com.

Thanks for taking the time to check out my site.

Merry Christmas.
