My Beloved White Fence
About three and a half years ago, we put up a white fence on two sides of our backyard at our old farmhouse. I have really, really loved my white fence. It made our small yard seem cozy. The end of last summer found a big storm with big wind moving through our backyard. This […]

Hello Monday:Peaches, Cows, Water, Cupboards, Milo
It’s Hello Monday! Linking up with Lisa! Hello to my brother-in-law’s cows! They finally found the corn shucks from the sweet corn.

Kitchen Appliances
Right before harvest really officially gets under way for us, I am browsing the classifieds on Nextech. I have jumped onto their site a few times to check out the appliances that other people no longer need or want, and have listed for sale.
