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.

Foraging For A Fall Wildflower Bouquet
It was a nice day out, the sun was shining and the feel of fall was in the air; the perfect time to grab my little red wagon and forage for wild flowers. Yep, it’s that easy in my neck of the woods.

I found my vintage little red wagon at the resale shop a few years back and of course it had to come home with me. For ... continue reading...
