Welcome

Welcome to our old farmhouse. Over the past year I have learned so much history of this house and the people who lived here. Ninety six years of love, loss, hopes and dreams. Preservation continues and there is always a repair to be done. We are trying to be purest in our preservation as much as we possibly can. I hope you follow along and each week I will try to give you a little history of the house as well as the first owners of the house. I've been lucky enough to find a journal from a Granddaughter who talks about the house as well as her Grandparents. So come follow along and learn about this old house as well as the occupants, old and new.

After the Rain

Join me at
for Table Top Tuesday.
Thanks Marty for hosting this event.
We have had a little change since today's
Porch Party on the deck. We no longer
have the black and white. After a hot sunny
day, we had a pop up thunder shower, that
always cools thing off, so I think we could have
a light dinner outside. I think a little color is in
order since it has turned out to be such a cloudy
evening.
An antique picnic basket with antique beverage
bottles. Some old dishes found at the thrift store. I used an old fringed throw for the tablecloth.
So won't you come join me for dinner.
Thanks for visiting.
Bye For Now

Just A Deck

Lets all show off our porches at
"Rose Colored Glasses" I'm linking up a little late tonight, I spent the day
just catching up and ran into a post about this
party and thought it sounded like fun.
So I'm joining in even though, I didn't prepare
very well.
I don't have a porch which was on my wish list
when we bought the house, but I guess you can't
have it all. So we will be on my deck and in my
little spot on my car port. Hey a girl has to do
what she has to do!!! So here is my deck, my flowers are doing so
well this year!!! I'm glad I went with the white
it makes everything look so fresh and clean.
A couple little places to sit and rest for a while.
A daytime view. I have lights attached to the top, so you get a little twinkle at night.
The other end of the deck is for food prep and
cooking. I bet you guessed why the prep table
was so close to the kitchen window. Your right,
pass all the cooking necessity's right through
that baby!
A night view.
When is a bird cage not a bird cage? When
it's a candle holder! Now lets move to my spot under the carport.
A wonderful shaded spot to sit and read or
just stay cool.
Or maybe even take a little nap, as we have
been known to do.
To hot for a fire, add some candles.
Another little spot to sit .
More candlelight.
Hope you enjoyed your visit!!!
Bye For Now,
