So this paint project has been on my to do list for almost a year and I’ve finally got around to doing it. I swapped out my farmhouse table, moved it into the office, and replaced it with this round dining table. Once I got it in place I noticed how horrible the wood floor color and the table stain color clashed. The floor has orange undertones, which I hate, and the table has yellow undertones, that I equally hate. Rather than strip it all down and end up with an entire new stain color that I ... continue reading...
Meet The Pekin Ducks Marigold and Daisy
Meet the new editions to the coop, Marigold and Daisy, Pekin ducks. For those of you who follow me on a regular basis you know I raise a batch or two of meat chickens every year. They take about 8 weeks from start to finish and then I clean and close up the coop for the rest of the years. Well not this year, I’ve had a couple of ducks move in. These are actually part of my DIL’s flock. By the way Marigold and Daisy are names I gave them she didn’t have them named. She has another batch of ... continue reading...
Adding A Touch Of Fall To The Chicken Coop’s Exterior
Outside the chicken coop seems to be one of my favorite places to decorate. Now that I have it painted, the stock tank in place, and a few rustic pieces I thought why not add a little fall décor to it. My DIL and I popped into Lowes for a bag of bird seed and found their 3 color mum bundles on clearance for $5. I was surprised to see them marked down already, but since they were I grabbed a few to use around the chicken coop. I didn’t want to spend a lot of money so with 2 mum ... continue reading...
Roadside Pumpkin Patch In The Country
Screeeeech! Stop the car! It was one of those moments while out cruising the back road with my DIL that we ran across this cute as ever roadside pumpkin stand all decked out for fall with the most quaint farmhouse charm. I’ll have to admit the old truck caught my eye right away. There’s nothing better than an old truck. Riding around with the windows down, hair blowing in the breeze and the truck bed filled with harvest from the farm. Can’t you just picture it now? Of course ... continue reading...
Blooming Sunflowers In The Fall Garden
The last things to be pulled from the fall garden are the sunflower blooms. As they start to fade I let the birds eat a big portion of the seeds but I must confess I cut a few heads to keep as seed to plant for the next year. I’ve been gathering my own sunflower seeds for several years now and haven’t had to buy any in years. I always have enough to share too. This year I mailed some out to a few of my friends here that follow the blog; those that requested milkweed seeds. By the way I ... continue reading...
Replacing French Doors In The Cabin
Replacing the French doors in the cabin has been on our to do list for nearly two years. We have three sets in the cabin, two in the dining room, and one on the walkout side of the basement. All were purchased at the same time from the same place and all 3 failed at the same time. One of the dining room doors seal had broke and moisture was between the glass, the other one in the dining room had been open and closed so many times it no longer stayed closed and was letting ... continue reading...
