I'm working fast and furious to get the goats here, but most of it is still in the planning stages. Nothing yet to even show in a photo. (I could use some prayer that things fall into place so I can bring them here in about a week or so!) Turns out, I may be bringing 3 home! Woo hoo!!
This past week, most of our time was devoted to just getting my daughter and catching up with her on all the details of her trip. And now that she's back, we're working on getting several projects done before I start homeschooling next month and she starts on-line college. We began painting the entry hall which was way over due after a remodel in the hallway that required the entry to be repainted. I plan to put bead board up as well, but that may take some time. Then the fall garden needs to be planted this week, so that's on the agenda, as well as packing for another camping trip.
Also, I got a wonderful package in the mail from Delores of Vignette Design... an absolutely stunning Joanne Hudson cheese platter that I won!!! (It's always a happy week when you win something so lovely!)
It looks perfect in my farmhouse style kitchen! I'm going to enjoy this immensely for entertaining, but it's going to give me a lot of pleasure just looking at it every day as well. Thank you, Delores! I'm thrilled to have won this!

ReplyDeleteSomething must be wrong with Linky....none of the posts are showing up either here or at The Prairie Homestead! :(
ReplyDeleteAmy, I know it really doesn't go along with the theme here but I would love to see pics of your farmhouse style kitchen. I am trying little by little to get a farmhouse style going in my house. Not country but farmhouse.
ReplyDeleteMrs. Trixi,
ReplyDeleteLet me see if I can get some decent photos and I'll try to do a post sometime in the next couple of weeks.
Happy Monday!
ReplyDeleteWe are making lots of bone broth this week!
ReplyDeleteI am doing a few things this week. I am making pillows for my mothers couch ( been trying since 3 months ago, working on a painting ( abstract for my mothers birth day), Cleaning and checking on pantry / food storage. And hoping to make a comfort basket ( thanks The Way Grandmama does it blog).
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting, Amy. Today I linked up a post on ragweed, which is in full bloom around our homestead right now. Believe it or not, it does have some uses. (I'm still not a fan, but I'm trying to make peace with it.)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great blog. Came over from Homeschool on the Croft and hope to join you all next monday.
