Barn Hop #25

Here we go again, friends! Monday is Homestead Barn Hop day! Yahoo!!

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!
