Farm Journal 3..

Hello my dears.. 

How art thou? 

Wednesday is here once again and the days of Spring will soon be past and we will move into Summer.. 

Here in New Brunswick we are having a bit of a cool and wet season and waiting for it to warm up to get our garden in.. 

Lots of people have their's all planted but ours at the farm is still  wet so it is a waiting game.. 

And we always have a frost during the first full moon in June so we don't want to plant anything that will freeze.. 

We have been at the farm several times but I think you will find this a rather boring post farmwise.. 

I even hesitate to name it a farm journal.. smile..

Once we move there then hopefully it will be a bit more interesting but this is all I have for now.. 

We plan to be moved out sometime next week as our chicks will be here... 

These pics are just a bit of old farm house decor.. 

Not that this is farm house decor by any shade of my imagination but it is decor in an old farm house.. 

If you get my drift.. smile.. 

Every time we go I am still cleaning and changing around and trying to get rid of junk that has collected the last few years.. 

This is an old primitive cupboard that I had in my shop at the cottage and decided to bring it home for the farm kitchen.. 

I love cloth napkins and the first shelf has a wooden trug full of them.. 

A soup tureen from my Mom for one of our anniversaries.. 

And consomme soup cups and such..  

Lots of cookbooks and a couple of old crocks.. 

A yard sale find that I use for a flower vase.. 

The lamp parts were missing but it doesn't leak.. 

Lily of the Valleys.. 

Terry hung this pot rack for me over the stove.. 

We took our new to us propane stove to the farm but Terry won't get it hooked up till we get moved up there.. 

This sweet little kettle was another thrift find and a little bouquet.. 

The blue woodwork is being changed asap.. 

He hopes to paint the kitchen very soon..

So enjoy our fresh spring water that is pumped to the house.. 

Well sweet ladies that is all the farm stuff I have for now.. 

We are busy here at home the last few days but hope to get out there again on Friday.. 

Today I tried my hand at making some fabric covers for my dandelion jelly jars.. 

I picked some violets and hoped they would turn out for the violet salve I made but the white violets would not show up.. 

the dandelion ones are not too bad.. 

I am wondering if a bit of sharpie marker might make them a better.. 

Here is the link if you are interested.. 

Here..

And this is my next project as soon as I can buy the oils.. Here..    

Hope you are having a great week.. 

It is graduation month and we have two darling grandsons graduating this year.. 

Who can believe how fast the time has flown since they were born.. 

We will have only one grandson not in university.. 

Imagine! 

Wondering what projects you girls are doing.. 

Such a  busy time of year, eh?  

God bless you sweet friends.. 

xo

ps.. I forgot to mention that in the first pic with the shelf you will see 3 sheep and 1 donkey.. 

I found them at a yard sale in a plastic bag last year and have decided that even though it is my dream to have 3 real sheep and 1 donkey for many years now these toys are as close as I am apt to get.. 

Oh well.. grin.. 

Just sharing my burden.. lol..
