~Waiting patiently~

Written by Sue, Tuesday, July 23, 2019  cloudy, rain in afternoon, hot, waiting for cold front.

Today is  a day of waiting, waiting for  Lowe's delivery man to deliver my new washer and dryer. The only answer I could get about arrival time was 'they will call 20 mins. before they come.'
I can't start any new projects, such as caning tomatoes, making salsa, and my newest project is making pickled okra. Oh! well, there is tomorrow. So today is rest, and blog day, I am so enjoying catching up.

However, while I am waiting let me share some of my patriotic decorations, these have been up since May, I will be taking them down within the next two weeks,replacing them with my fall decorations,I am so ready, it has been and is a long hot summer, of course, you might know by now that fall is my favorite season., I have a tendency to rush it.
I try and decorate our home for many seasons and holidays, it just seems to brighten each time of the year.

 This is the breakfast nook, one of the most used rooms. The chandelier came from our old home place, I just couldn't part with it.

This is the foyer, I enjoy seeing the red,white and blue lights on the tree at night.

The dining room is one of my favorite rooms, I love stopping by in the morning and seeing how the sun brightens the room.

I also love this view when coming down the stairs, I call my style, 'eclectic', I love farmhouse,country, traditional,folk, no modern for me. I love the richness of wood especially oak,and find it hard to paint them, I have debated so many times of whether or not to paint this hall tree, so far it is holding its own.

While writing this post we had that much needed rain come in, giving thanks to our heavenly Father for His many blessings. Mr P got caught in the rain, was soaked, but didn't mind,~smile~ rain in summer is so refreshing like a warm shower.

Have a blessed afternoon.

Do you know the color for 2019?

Written by Sue, Tuesday, March 12, 2019          sunny, warm, 60's, a beautiful day!
What have I been up to?
Twice a year I clean the house from top to bottom, (spring and fall), which means I clean and organize  closets, cabinets, pantry, windows, baseboards, etc. All the while trying to maintain each week.💪

I will admit that over the past few years it takes me a little longer, I would like to say the reason is that I am more thorough, but truth is, it is age related. I continuously tell my Physician that even though my body is slowing down, I refuse to let my mind. ~wink~ When I ask Dh why I can't seem to get more done in a day, he reminds me that we both are not spring chickens anymore!~ 🐔😱~

Do you know the color for 2019? It is called Living Coral, Isn't it a beautiful color. Living Coral, has a pink tint to it.

I didn't realize how much of this color I had  at the farmhouse. I love how they have pared this color with light blue, almost a light aqua. the photo doesn't do it justice.

This cup was wrapped and placed in a gift basket, and yes! I am still making gift baskets, and baking cookies.~wink~  the blue and coral pared together again.

Love this tea towel, same colors

More of the same, and just think, I had these linens already in my closet. I am decorating for spring as I clean, hopefully I will finish this week.

Tis the season for busyness here at the farmhouse, but I guess you could say it is always busy on the farm. Uncle Joe and Rain says 'Hello' and not to sweat the small stuff.

I call it my

Blessings from our home to yours,

Sue
