Are you and your heat source ready for winter? We’ve made a few changes to the cabin just recently that I’ve been wanting to do forever. I love the warmth of a fire from wood. When I was growing up we alway had a wood burner in our home, and in our last home we had a pellet burner stove. A pellet burner has pros and cons but for us the pros of a pellet burner out weight the cons. We get the warm dry heat like you would from wood. Pellets are pressed sawdust, that look just like ... continue reading...

A Day At The Orchard: Apple and Peach Picking
Its apple and peach picking season here in the mitten state. We had one nice sunny day during the week so hubby and I made the trip to the orchard. We primarily went to pick peaches, since my peach tree only produced 3 peaches this year, we had to find another source. I was quite surprised we even got three, with our spring frost, but we did. Hubby and I each had a basket to fill, I think in all we picked 1/2 bushel of peaches and 1/2 bushel of apples. We didn’t intend on ... continue reading...
Fall Decorating Ideas and Inspiration For Outside
Are you doing any fall decorating yet? Or will you be this year? I’ve cut down on the amount I’ll be doing but I wanted to share with you these cute outdoor spaces decorate for fall. I came across these while out today. We have an old building in a town over from me that was converted into an indoor type farmers market years ago. I seldom go there, it’s in a pretty rough neighborhood and I’m not out looking for trouble. But it was daylight and I hadn’t been in the place in over a year so ... continue reading...
Rustic Porch Entrance In Blue and Green
Here’s the last view of the side porch done in green and blue that I’m going to share before I add a few, very few in fact, touches of fall to it. The only new purchase that I made was the outdoor blue area rug. What I had there was in need of replacement and this one caught my eye while exiting Sams Club so I picked it up. By the way, see that Boston Fern? I’m going to try and cut it back and keep it over the winter to use again next year. The reason I think it will work ... continue reading...
My DIY Compost Bin, My Store Bought One Gave Way
I’m pretty sure this isn’t the most talked about topic, or the most exciting topic but it’s the DIY project I tackled this week. I’ve had the same compost bin for about 15 years. It was a mothers day gift from my son, yes I know I like strange gifts. It’s worked great but last week it finally gave way. The entire bottom broke loose and everything fell out. Sadly I had hubby scoop it up with the bobcat and drop it into our big trash dumpster. I was now on the search for a ... continue reading...
