It isn't about making my home fit for Better Homes and Gardens or even to keep up the Joneses.
For us, it is about relishing what has always been around us---that we have never noticed.
It's about plucking joy and stringing it in windows
Gathering beauty and plunking it in vases.
Studying art and discovering the great Artist

I love the wood trailer! Do you know what is crazy? We see them for sale up here! And your strings of peppers, very nice!!
Did you really knit Adele's sweater? It is beautiful... and so is she! She is getting so big, so fast!
I think my multitude monday post is either going to be really late tonight or a day late. But better late than never, right! :)
I'm cooking up a storm today... I wonder if that is why its snowing? I'll post pictures and lists of what all I've made in the past few days. It is so nice to have ready made and pre-assembled meals in the freezer.
Praying for you!!
Oh how nice, and well- cozy!
Who broke their finger?!?
Adele has the most illegally long eyelashes..... off to get my babies ready for bed.
Oh, and an oil lamp for chores? Be still my lantern loving heart! (I only have at least 6 of them...)
Love your blessings & your wood trailer! Awesome idea!
God bless you

ps. what a beautiful family too!
Adele's sweater looks crocheted. Did you make it? Such beautiful colors for a beautiful babe. I love it!
And...I mentioned to my dearly beloved about the idea for the redneck wood hauling trailer, but he said it wouldn't be road worthy due to PA state laws that have changed, so I scrapped the idea. If you're just using on your property, it certainly is a blessing, isn't it?!
Take Care!

Sleep tight!

PS-my hubby LOVES those trailers! :) We call the "truck-butt" trailers...teehee! :)
So lovely, Rebecca!!!
Oh, your blog is a treasure!! I am so glad I stumbled upon it! {grin} I LOVE how you used that old window as a frame for your gorgeous photo. I have an old barn window kicking around waiting for me to decorate with it. May I copy? I am going to follow you! {grin}
