Friendly Greetings and Welcome to B.S. (Barnyard Stories).

     I am a Blue-Jeaned Photographer, a Professional Scribbler, Wordworker, Doodler, and all around Dabbler.

     I am Lisa Marie Ford, the author of “the Critters That Call the Farm Home” Book Series. I am a farmer poet, daydreaming storyteller, and a life photographer.  I also write “novels” for e-mails I have been told, being rather long-worded, and I love writing and reading details for the imagination. I love to stargaze, obviously, and am a bit of a “night owl”. I am also known to trip over my own feet quite regularily, otherwise known as a clutz extraordinaire.

     Pic By Lis, the Down on the Farm Studio, is my photography and design business; featuring bookmarks, postcards, cards, posters, and calendars all 100% original in photography, poetry, and design as well as Made in the USA. This is why some of you may also know me as “The Postcard Lady.” I also doodle and dabble a bit and you can see a plethora of my creations throughout the site; like graphics, artwork, and “animated paintings.” My books are also available in the online store at PicsByLis.com known as the Critter Express Online Store as well as some artwork prints.

    I live and work on my family’s dairy farm amongst some of nature’s silliest curiousities; including my Sheltie Collie, Bagpipes; my American Quarter Horse, Cecil; two Pygmy Goats, Hornipes, and Mussette: a dozen “Peeps” (chickens); a baker’s dozen of calves, some of which are named things like Baby Buttons, Baby Gayle, and Bellows; and a “Fleet” of Muscovey Ducks led by Port, Starboard, and Sir Francis the Drake. And if you think all this sounds silly…you ought to live here with all of them. :0)

     Hope you enjoy this new adventure…B.S. …a blog of Barnyard Stories from Family Farm Country. May your journey be filled with plenty of smiles and Happy Hiccupping!
