Going to the farm....


Good Morning... A very short post today as my husband will be ready to leave soon.   We are going up to our old farm to spend the day.  It needs some cleaning and fixing as we did not spend much time there since Fall.
These pictures were taken before.. There is still snow up in the Kent Hills but it is gone around the house and fields...

This is just an old farm house that my dear Aunt Eva worked in since 1949... Before that they lived in the old house which was torn down after they built this little one.
What a Keeper of the Home that sweet lady was..
Her buttermilk biscuits were wonderful as was their hospitality..


I need to wash all the dishes and floors, etc.  We had a ham for Easter so the remains of that will be turned into a Boiled Dinner.
We have had that meal before up there...
Maybe, some stovetop biscuits on the old wood stove..
We shall see... smile..

 
Terry has to cut up some wood and I want an herb bed up there. 
Last year I planted some chives and a couple of others that came up again.. Thank you, Lord. 
I also want to take a shovel full of Poor Man's Orchid up for the back field for the bees.. They so love that plant. 
I did a posting on that last summer but I actually forget if it was on this blog or Primitive Lace. 
It is raining quite hard though, so that may not get done...

Have a blessed day and I will try and take some pics of our doings in case you would like to see for tomorrow.
I guess I will not be working on the bathroom... smile...
Oh well... it will still be here when I get back..
God Bless..
Hugs...
Faye...

  2. Your farm looks lovely. I love the old table. My sewing table is my grandmothers old kitchen table. I love old things. This is my second attempt at making a comment so I hope it doesn't show up twice. Enjoy your day and God bless.

  7. hmmm... boiled dinner from ham- I've never had that (only ever with roast beef), sounds yummy!

  8. I love your old farmhouse. Everything is perfect.
    To me, a boiled dinner is boiled cabbage and potatoes and you boil off the ham bone. Can also be done with soup beans. Is that what you mean?
