Well, I finally got a couple of photos on here - and I promise this is all for today. The yellow house at the top of my blog is a not very good view of the farmhouse. We had just re-sided it. We've still got lots to do, but will probably wait until early spring to set out bushes, pecan trees, fruit trees and flowers since it's so late in the year. We still have to paint the new front porch and railings, too.

I love being out there. Since our farm is mostly pasture, we can sit outside at night in the middle of the place and see 360 degrees of stars and open sky. I love where we live in Texas, but there are so many trees, sometimes it's difficult to view the whole entire heavens above. But you can do it here on Sand Flat Farm. It's nice in the daytime, too, cuz you can see all the clouds. And where it sits is on the rise of a slight hill and there's a breeze across the place all the time. Rarely is it still - which makes it nice!

I always thought I was born into the wrong century. Always thought I should have been born back in the 1800's. I love that era. I quilt, I put up jellies, pickles, and other stuff, and had two wonderful grandmothers teach me how to sew and cook and do alot of things they grew up doing. You know, alot of people nowadays are not interested in the "old ways", but I absolutely love it. I hate how our society now is so fast-paced and so technological. I LONG for lazy days, and slower times where you can visit with your family, kinfolk, and neighbors and sit on the back porch and drink your coffee and just be quiet and enjoy just being still. I'm going to have my own garden next year. I brought up the subject of chickens but so far all I've gotten out of my hubby is his eyes rolling and a sigh. Don't know if he'll go for that or not...

Well, gotta run - I'm going to the farmhouse this afternoon to get some painting done. I'm refinishing some little end tables today and I will be covered with paint again this evening. And we have a wedding to go to tomorrow!
