We are, for the most part, living at our country place.The picture of the bird feeder is what I see out my kitchen window, but you can't believe the mess they make on the sidewalk! These are Golden Finches, and they are so beautiful. Right now they are changing colors to a muted gray. Actually, I can't stand at the window and see them, because they fly away, so I had to sneak this picture!
A new way to pass the time out here is herding frogs. We get little frogs and toads in our house, and have to herd them back outside. I think moving is a bit like herding frogs....most of the time I am ready, but the other people I depend on are kind of froggy like - hopping this way and that way. I guess I will be moved eventually, but it can be frustrating!
I was pulling weeds the other day, and stood up and was face to face with this interesting growth - we call it "Lips". It is in a very old and diseased elm that needs to come down. I almost had a heart attack!! Sometimes it sneers at me...
I am adding the two pictures of our kitchen because I have a friend who is helping me with ideas for a pot rack. Amy - see the canned light above the island table? I found the table in the shop, and love it. I think it may be too small though. I would like some seating around it, so I am still thinking this one through. Although the kitchen is huge, it needed some landing space from the refrigerator. It's a great spot to make sandwiches on, and I pulled up the high chair for Kharsyn's breakfast yesterday!
This is a picture of the kitchen with the breakfast table. We took the table & chair set I used at Kiefer, and I painted the chairs a rust-color. The table needs some work though, but it's fine for now. The big table is in the formal living room. It just didn't look right in this room, and I could only get the boys to move it once!
So that's country living for now! Hope you are well Marge - had a nice visit with Trudy and Matt yesterday. And let me tell you - Matt is a smart man! haha - love to all - Mo
