A little telling about our country home. Our projects, our garden, our pets, our life on twenty four acres in the beautiful North Carolina country. "The more comfortable you are in your home, the less desire you have to leave it. The more at ease you are in your surroundings, the more others want to join you". Neighbor Jane Payne

Bath Redo
We finally were able to tackle our outdated bathroom this fall. While I was away in Florida, visiting my mother, my son and husband tore out our old bathtub and started on the tiling of the new walk-in shower. Adam is in the tiling business and does a wonderful job. It is fresh and pretty and even has a rainshower shower head. I painted the walls a light robin's egg blue to match the trim tile in the shower. I have collected some retro cups and plates from garage sales and put them on a white shelf. For now, we have done nothing with the sink and countertop but just for a tempoary fix, I painted the old formica black, along with an old dresser. I will do something better later, but it turned our quite good. It is cheerful and bright and I love the shower. Thanks Adam and Dad!

Our Farm
ave b
We heen blessed with a wonderful place to live. A few years ago, we were able to buy 24 acres with a pond and "little brick rancher" house. The house was not my dream home. It is just a typical brick ranch built in the 70's. But, the land sold us on the place with its acreage and big field down through the woods with a nice size pond. Since then we have done a lot with it and have made the house our own too. This blog is a kind of picture book of "Our Farm". "Our Farm" was the name of my Uncle Fred's blueberry farm in Michigan when I was growing up in the 50's. I have fond memories of it and so have dubbed our place with that name too.
