Hello, what a wonderful day!

The pumpkins, gourds, sunflowers, and Indian corn

are growing.......

 

 This great old wagon will be parked at the corner where

we planted our 25 bittersweet vines.

Here is our cabin peeking through the sunflowers

We are starting to finish up some landscaping outside and will

post pictures as we progress.  Having so much fun, just wish there

were more hours in the day.

Farm Update.....

Good morning.... I hope everyone had a great

start to their morning.  I woke up to the smell of

coffee and bacon....yummy.  We spent some time

at the farm yesterday.  The new well is in and finished.

We just have a lot of yard work to do.  We have put off

working to much on the inside until the weather is not

as enjoyable as it is now.  The fields are looking wonderful.

I can't believe how everything is growing.  We are blessed.

We purchased an old wagon that will be out by the large

garden and the bittersweet.  Well enough talking....here

are some new pictures.....

 

We have everything from alfalfa, wheat to ground into

flour, flax, red potatoes, raspberries, broom corn, indian corn,

popcorn, sorgum,soybeans, pumpkins, gourds, sweet annie,

wildflowers, and bittersweet.  Thanks for taking the time

to stop by!

Hope you have a great day....Lynda

 

 



What to plant??????

So many seed books....so little time.

 Does anyone have any suggestions on which variety of

sunflowers, pumpkins, gourds, vegetables etc. to plant.  Would

love to hear your imput.  Blessings, Lynda

Cabin Update

Hello....so many new pictures to share with you.

This is part of the field & trees as you approach from the

North.  The propane tank is set, windows are in and I

am ready to get busy on the farm.

 Here is "my" tractor.

 And with all the rain we have had....we have

lake front property.  We are very fortunate.  We are on the

high side of the river bank so now worries about flooding.

 Meet my new friend Dale.  He is happy to share his

spot in the woods...as long as I don't get too close.

The north end of the property line.

 Here is the north side of the property looking at it

from back by the river.

 He now thinks he is a real farm puppy!

 The back of the property....the open area will be a screened in porch.

To the left is the "summer kitchen".

 This is the south side of the cabin.  We have started to

level out the dirt and figure out what to do around the cabin.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  We have been looking

through seed books and planning, planning, planning.

This is so much fun.  I can hardly stay focused on

the other things that have to be done.  Any suggestions

on what to plant this year.  We have over 5 acres but

I think we will start out small.

Rain, Rain....go away, come again another day

Hello, thanks for stopping by to get a look at the work

that has been done on the farm.

As you can see, the new windows have

been put in on the South side of the barn.

 They have the roof ready for the foam insulation...but the weather

has not cooperated.  It went from sunny and 70 to rainy and barley 40 degrees.

 The natural light from the upstairs window is just beautiful.

The entire 2nd floor is going to stay with all the natural wood.

Alot of cleaning and sealing needs to take place...but this

is a small section of what it will look like.

The have the back porch and summer kitchen porch roof ready

to go.

 The window that will be above the primitive sink in the cabin is in.

 The front porch roof and posts are ready...we need to get the

overhead door off....cement is being poured and we can get

the front and back doors framed in and ready to go

 This is a view coming from the south.  I am soooo excited to

continue with this project.  I am truly blessed to be able

to experience this dream that I have had for a very long time.

It may take a long time to finish...but with friends and the

Lord's generosity I have faith that it will be a wonderful adventure.

Blessings, Lynda
