What Sunday looks like

Made with blueberries from the field…

The secret to great looking Petunias? Water. Every. Single. Day.

The bugs have been horrendous this year, so horses are wearing fly masks.

Farm stand re-opened… in the shade(!!)… with more produce.

Ben doesn’t know what to make of those

REALLY BIG DOGS that moved in yesterday.

Hope you’re having a great day too…

Thank you for stopping by, I alway love reading your comments 🙂

Happy Horses

What’s a farm without farm animals, right? We finally brought the horses home today… we have some very happy campers here… that includes me 🙂

Opie

Max

Opie, Lacey & Coady

And all was right with the world once again.

PS. for those of you who are local.. after just one and a half days,

The head gardener here decided we don’t have enough produce yet to

stock a stand the way he would like to see it.

We also have to figure out how to keep the stuff in the shade

so it doesn’t wilt. Live and learn, I say.

His words were a little stronger. Type A thing, you know.

Child Labor

These three earned their movie money for tonight 🙂

The bucks stopped here…

Last night while we were sitting out on the screen porch, look who wandered over the hill to graze…

I counted nine.. all bucks. I had no idea they traveled together.

I assumed they had “territories”.

Once they saw me taking pictures…

far away, using zoom with no flash!…

They hightailed it out of here.

Did you ever wonder where that saying came from?

The Other Andrea

Remember the post “My Other Self”? Andrea joined in the fun today and her other self is awesome!!… check it out here..

I didn’t NEED it…

.. but for $25. at a nearby vintage junk emporium, what a find! I love it. An old print, glued onto a black painted board back, now hanging in my agriculture inspired bedroom…

Look at that sweet face ~

I believe this is a Dairy cow of the Jersey Variety.

This is why there can be no beef cows on the property.

The Man has suggested it.

I could never eat them.

How The West Was Won

..I’m guessing probably NOT from the back of this 1890’s buckboard.

But oh, the romance of it….

This old hay rake has come home to roost too….

B is for bargains, barns and blueberries

The barstools we originally bought for the kitchen island at This Old House were nice looking, but not comfortable. The Man of the house wanted something more substantial. Sooo…I went to my favorite vintage bargain shop last week (Gather in Ivoryton) and found two treasures for a real deal. The first was this set of kitchen island chairs… $80. a piece!…and one was $60 because the seat had a scratch! …… as opposed to $265. for others I had seen online almost everywhere else.

PS – the kitchen is a mess because I just finished putting together a Shephards Pie for dinner… in 90 degree summer heat. What was I thinking? I wasn’t.
