That looks lovely. Nice work ladies.
Thank you!
Oh, I’m so happy! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👏👏👏
I spent so much time on the old wine barrels that were there. Unfortunately, when I moved from Ferndale 3 years ago, I was told that the flowers and the bench were abandoned.
Now that the pandemic is waning hopefully, Ferndale will get many, more tourists, and they will see how Ferndale cares, and it’s a show of pride too!
Thank you all who contributed to this little bit of love in Ferndale. ♥️ 😉
Agree!! It’s a nice sturdy bench ❤️Thanks Lady’s! already see’n more 🌺🌺
